Parity Drive Faulty - Next Step? - blk_update_request: critical target error

[Douglas_D]

Hi all, I received the following messages in the syslog last night (2:30AM Oct 30th) and I'm not really sure what the next step is from here. I ran a short SMART diagnostics on the drive and it didn't find anything wrong with the drive (Drive sdg in attached diagnostic log).

So I'm curious if this is something that may have been a fluke or if there is some way to restore the Parity drive to functional and then try writing to these registers to test if it is truly bad.

The disk looks healthy, but you can run an extended SMART test, if the extended SMART test finishes successfully you can swap cables/backplance with another disk, re-sync parity and see if the same disk fails again.
