    2. Run the SMART long tests on both drives. Start with /dev/sda as it looks like partition sda3 is a problem. If /dev/sda is clean, try adding it back into the array with mdadm. If there are any problem I would use ddrescue from a SystemRescue like the one in my previous link to copy to a new drive of the same (preferably) or larger size. If there are bad sectors on /dev/sda, ddrescue will try very hard to read with multiple re-tries. If unsuccessful will write zeros in that position on the new drive, then continue, whereas dd would give up... Then replace the old sda disk with the newly created one./quote]
