But I did yesterday experience a drop of disk 2 during operation with message "disk read/write error" as also described by UkPaolo. I believe load was minimal. The unit immediately started rebuilding with the hotspare. Two warning emails were correctly sent (Warning: RAID device in degraded mode, and Error: Drive 2 failed). As in UkPaolo's case, removing and re-adding the drive did not change the drive status, but a Bad Blocks Scan did (thanks for the tip, UkPaolo!). SMART tests reveal no problems with the drive, and I'm feeling lucky so haven't bothered with SeaTools.
I have only had this drop during operation happen once so far, fortunately. Could very well be coincidence but did come relatively soon after upgrading to 3.4.4 for me. Pure speculation, sorry. One feature request, though: a 'Reset Disk' button alternative to the 6 hours Bad Blocks Scan would be great
Regards,
Kenneth
