If it smartctl tested OK, then there is no reason to think it dying/dead. You can always just stop the array and then attempt to start (--assemble) it before you reboot. That is probably a conservative approach to take before reboot. Of course things can always go haywire and fail, but I have boxes I manage remotely and routinely reboot without issues. It obviously booted fine with the reassignment of sda->sdc occurred. Good luck. -- David C.
