Will my NV+ need a "factory reset"?
If the increasing reallocated sector count is to be believed, my NV+v.1 soon will be needing a replacement HDD. If I'm reading this guide page correctly, I also will need to do a factory reset before...
Your priority should always be data preservation.
What is the reallocated sector count of the bad disk?
Are there any errors on the other disks?
Your approach leaves you open to a substantial risk of data loss, the disk is failing and needs to be replaced.
The time to create a backup is now, before you replace the disk.
Even if you did not need to factory default we would recommend this, but this is an opportune moment to do the factory default.
How big is your current volume and how much data is on it?
How many disks and what size are they?
Config question: back it up and restore it.
