Is my RAID degraded or not?

    I have 4 x 2TB Sata drives in a CentOS box for backups.

    In Webmin when I go to Hardware > Linux RAID, /dev/md0 and md1 is showing a failed disk but /dev/md2 is not - as per the screenshots.

    I don't know a lot about Linux and wondering why this is happening.

    Looks like one of your disks have failed. You'll need to identify which disk and replace. Hopefully you have labelled your disks :P

    You can tell which disk is faulty from the shell: 
    [root@brain /]# mdadm --detail /dev/md0

    Thanks. Any idea why two logical drives show a failure and one (the main data drive) doesn't?

    I was getting failures on MD2 on previous occaisions so I removed the drive from the RAID (software) and re-added and rebuilt and it would be ok again for a couple of months. I will get a RAID card and see if that works better.
