I'm back up with a full complement of disks and data. It turns out that despite the 'auto reallocate failed' in this message: Nov 12 09:45:40 cu kernel: Current sda: sense key Medium Error Nov 12 09:45:40 cu kernel: Additional sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed Nov 12 09:45:40 cu kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 221992599 The disk is actually good according to 'badblocks -w -v -s -c 1024 /dev/sde 222000000 221800000' (I did a full scan too). Checking for bad blocks in read-write mode From block 221800000 to 222000000 Testing with pattern 0xaa: done Reading and comparing: done Testing with pattern 0x55: done Reading and comparing: done Testing with pattern 0xff: done Reading and comparing: done Testing with pattern 0x00: done Reading and comparing: done Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found. Now all I need is SMART through libata. David
