Running Fedora 32 connected to a 4 drive e-sata with a software RAID10. I'm pretty sure based on the below commands /dev/sdb is not salvageable. As the RAID10 is re-syncing, the share is mounted as read-only. I'm running a rsync to copy as many files as I can but input/output errors happen intermittently. If /dev/sdb is showing as a Removed state why are the system logs being filled with: Jun 9 11:33:15 ourserver kernel: md: super_written gets error=10 Jun 9 11:33:15 ourserver kernel: md: md0: resync interrupted.
