If you have a bad sector on an unused part of the array, when you have
to rebuild due to another disk failure, you'll
hit a URE and the whole array is failed

there is nothing like "unused part of the array" since the linux-raid-layer knows nothing about the filesystem on top and hence a raid-check (scrub) reads every block as said hardware controller
