  In my experience, the RAID managers I've dealt with (Linux, AMI/LSI,
QNAP, Intel, Adaptec) respond to that single bad block by failing the
member disk, and requiring a rebuild of the entire member.  :-p

  I haven't had any server disk failures for at least a few years
(knock on wood); maybe things have gotten better in that time.
