You can use smartctl to pull the S/N off the drive. |

backup2 ~ # smartctl -i /dev/sda |

smartctl 5.42 2011-10-20 r3458 [x86_64-linux-3.2.2-hardened-r1] |

Short answer: lots of things can go wrong. It might be as simple as |
| 28 |
removing the failing drive from the array. But it doesn't matter, back |
| 29 |
up the un-failed disk right now if there's anything important on it. |
| 30 |
*Then* play around to get the array working again. |
