Reallocated sectors = data loss?
Ultra 6, 3x 2TB X-RAID2 62% full I have a failing disk, unfortunately due to a mistake by me I wasn't noticing the warning emails and it looks like its been throwing a steady stream of SMART erro...
X-RAID2 is like RAID-5.
I would remove that disk. It's clearly failing and only going to cause problems.
There is a possibility you could have a problem e.g. from another failing disk. RAID isn't a replacement for backing up your data. See Preventing Catastrophic Data Loss
After your volume is redundant again, I would enable disk scrubbing monthly and the Online Filesystem Consistency Check weekly. These are good as they can help problems be detected before they become serious.
