I have a RAID 5 setup with one spare disk. One of the disks failed, so I replaced it, and while it was recovering, it found some bad sectors on another drive (unreadable and uncorrectable SMART errors). This generated a fail event and shut down the array.

When I restart the array with the force command, it starts the recovery process and dies when it gets to the bad sectors, so I am stuck in an infinite loop.

I am wondering if there is a way to cut my losses with these bad sectors and have it recover what it can so that I can get my raid array back to functioning. Right now I cannot get a spare disk recovery to finish because these bad sectors. Is there a way to force as much recovery as possible so that I can replace this newly faulty drive?

Thanks
Lane
