Dear Chris Murphy, In message [ref] you wrote:
Well, you have a block on each drive that's supposed to be identical, and if there's a mismatch that means they're not identical and it's ambiguous which one is correct. So if the data on the drives is unimportant to retrieve correctly, then I guess it's not a critical error.
Heh, would I be running a RAID 6 array if the data was unimportant?
What's the smartctl -a look like for all drives? I imagine one or more have bad sectors, ECC errors, or UDMA/CRD errors.
I see a some Hardware_ECC_Recovered; very few disks have 1 Reallocated_Sector_Ct; there are no (0) Current_Pending_Sector, Offline_Uncorrectable, UDMA_CRC_Error_Count, Multi_Zone_Error_Rate, or Data_Address_Mark_Errs.
