Disk shows Dead. Volume shows fine.
I have X-Raid with dual redundancy configured. A disk failed on me and I went to pull out the bad drive. Stupid me for not checking, but I pulled out disk 6 when disk 4 was the dead drive. I was now inserted the new drive in disk 4's slot and crossed my fingers during the rebuild. It went fine and now showed the volume as degraded but redudant. I removed disk 6 again and replaced it. It went throught disk testing and passed. It took maybe 15 hours for it to resync and appeared to end successfully. The volume shows as being green and being redudant. However the disk still shows as being dead.
So do i replace disk 6?
There's no important data on the swap partition. That's just used for temporarily storing what's normally stored in RAM if the RAM doesn't have sufficient space.
So you can safely do what the error message suggested:
# mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdf2
then
# mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdf2
If sdf2 is marked as a spare in md1 (you can tell this by checking the output of # cat /proc /mdstat ) you can force it to be used properly by doing e.g.
# mdadm --grow /dev/md1 -n6

Yes. I have tried different web browsers, computers, etc. Doesn't appear to be a cache issue.
I have restarted the system twice and still has the same status.
Do you have a backup of the data?
