Errors on S/W RAID

[tman]

Thanks for the tip. The problem is though, that nowhere in the GUI or console does the drive get referenced by the /dev/sda name I can see. All I see is Unit S001, Unit S002 etc, and the S/W RAID name MD0. I understand SMART is reporting the actual drive with the bad sectors, but how do I find out which one this is?

Download your systme logs, from webGUI go to : status ->hardware -> Logs, then after you download them, try to open the logs with any software that opened compressed files ( ex: WinRAR ) and search the system logs to find a file named tests.log, you may find useful details about sda that lead you to find the drive you want.

Thanks. Downloading the logs and digging around led me (eventually) to test.log, which has this entry;

/dev/sda:

This gives me a serial number, which allows me to track the device down to Unit S000, so I'm getting somewhere.

When I come to replace this drive, as it's in a S/W RAID, is it just a matter of pulling and replacing the drive and letting the RAID rebuild, or do I need to do anything else beforehand?
