Don't panic and don't do anything else yet if you're not confident about what you're doing. I'll follow up with more info in a short while. Info you can provide: kernel version mdadm version cat /proc/mdstat mdadm --examine /dev/sd[abcdef]1 (or whatever your array components are) relevant smartctl info on the bad drive(s) dmesg info about the drive failures Assuming genuine hardware failure: Do you have any spare drives that you can use to replace the components?
