fsck has NOTHING to do with the status of your drives.
It's a File System ChecKer. Your disk can be covered with unreadable
sectors but if the file system on that disk is intact, fsck reports
no problem. Conversely, your disks can be fine, but your file system
can be scrambled beyond recognition; bad news from fsck doesn't mean
your drive is bad.
To check the status of the disks, you probably want to slip a call
to bioctl into /etc/daily.local:
# bioctl softraid0
Volume Status Size Device
softraid0 0 Online 7945693712896 sd2 RAID1
0 Online 7945693712896 0:0.0 noencl <sd0a>
1 Online 7945693712896 0:1.0 noencl <sd1a>
This is a happy array. If you have a bad drive, one of those
physical drives is going to not be online.
