15 It means you just ran out of luck. As software-raid howto says:
16 "...if you have a failure, the failed device will be marked with (F)..."

18 But before you start changing drives, I'd try rebuilding md3
19 again from scratch. Linux software-raid is very sensitive to
20 various "out-of-sync" conditions, i.e. when one drive starts
21 realocating weak sector, or gets switched to some energy saving
22 mode. This problem is quite common for "non-raid" drives...
