Hey guys
I was in the middle of backing up my raid 5 to a Nas box last night and woke this morning to find a single failed disk error.. as well as a prompt to install the latest 5.6.1
Pretty coincidental that I lose a drive at the same time that an update is prompted.
Could this prompted update cause drive failure while in the middle of a big transfer?

Seems unlikely.
Check the SoftRAID log and see what kind of error:
Was it a volume error, or disk error?
Is the error in the SoftRAID disk tile?
In the SoftRAID log, does the error have a sector offset, or is it zero?
SoftRAID reports all errors involving disks/volumes, regardless of cause, it is better to be cautious than ignore any disk errors.
