I had a feeling it was due to the resync not done. So if I understand you correctly, the disks are okay, and the resync is going on, but the array sees itself as degraded because it's down a drive until the resync is done
So once the resync is done in the background, everything should go back to normal readouts.
Does that about cover it? I guess the reason I've been concerned is because the box's readout is not saying anything other than "DATA DEGRADED"... no switching between different readouts like a resync progress update or anything...
Or did I miss anything?

Sure enough, once the sync was completed, the message went away in the box, and the web UI shows everything reading normal... RAID-6 and all.
