Usually I get a [UU] on a good RAID, and an _ for the failed drive. That would indicate that sda3 has failed. However, sdb3 is marked with an (F), which I've never seen before.
It means you just ran out of luck. As software-raid howto says: "...if you have a failure, the failed device will be marked with (F)..." But before you start changing drives, I'd try rebuilding md3 again from scratch. Linux software-raid is very sensitive to various "out-of-sync" conditions, i.e. when one drive starts realocating weak sector, or gets switched to some energy saving mode. This problem is quite common for "non-raid" drives... Jarry -- _______________________________________________________________ This mailbox accepts e-mails only from selected mailing-lists!
