ok, I think I've figured out that one of my drives is dying... the RAID5 volume is still intact however.
I want to replace the bad drive with a new drive, however I've read on here from others that the automatic RAID5 volume rebuild often asks to format the entire volume when inserting a brand new drive.
I thought I read somewhere on here but can't seem to find it via search, a method to manually rebuild the RAID5 volume via ffp ?
could someone post those instructions ?
MUCH APPRECIATED!

You basically have to fail and remove the faulty disk, power down, exchange disk and add the new one.
mdadm --fail /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 mdadm --remove /dev/md0 /dev/sda1
reboot
mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sda1
Don't follow this instruction exactly. I have no idea which partitions are actually used in your box, nor which disk is dying.
