OK, lol, I can't win.

It finished resyncing and actually did a decent job at moving over about 40 gigs. It still did some spiking with the networ utilization, but it was acceptable (to me, at this point).

BUT, at about 4 hours into the file transfer, it started getting slow again. So I looked at the log.....failed drive number 2.

I checked each of these drives with spinrite and they were fine.

So, I went to the management page, and I saw the option to repair the drive. I clicked that, and it said drive was repaired successfully. But when I looked at the RAID set it still asked if I wanted to repair the drive. If I click "repair drive" again, it says there are no drives to repair. So when I go back to the RAID set, I see, "Repair RAID". When I click that, it says, "Repairing RAID 5 (checksummed) Set md0.
There are no drives with enough free space to repair this RAID Set. We need at least 456,823MB to repair the set. "

So, I'm thinking to myself, just for the hell of it, I will try to move some other large files to it, via the network, just for....well, for the hell of it. Well, it says that the share is not available and that I might not have the permissions to access it. But I do.

So, should I take this disk out and recheck it, or should I be casting a suspect eye towards the sled. Is there a good way to test the sled? If it's working intermittently, I don't' want to swap drives and have it work at the time I try a different drive in it.
