Once a drive fails, md will not re-sync it automatically.  It will just sit
there in a failed state.  If you had a spare, then it would re-sync
automatically.  I am not 100% sure but I think...if you were to reboot,
after the reboot md will resync.

If you reboot before the re-sync is done, the re-sync will start over, at
lease with my version.

Wait for it to re-sync, then reboot and check the status.
Some people have problems after a reboot.

Cat /proc/mdstat for the ETA and status.

Well, the array re-synced overnight and I re-ran bonnie++ again a couple 
of times this morning with no apparent ill-effect.

To be honest, I'd just had some problems with a loose power cable so I 
suspect that the array was already re-syncing before I ran bonnie.

Thanks,

R.
