Subject: RAID-0: block errors

Hi,

  In a RAID-0 array, I'm getting some block errors. How to fix it?
In the 'good old days' one could use 'scu' to find and reassign
the offending block (even on a hot system). What is the procedure
for RAID? It's a 1000A, DUnix 4.0, 3 channel RAID controller card.
I could attach all disks to a SCSI card and run SCU, but I can't
afford the downtime. Any better suggestion?

I would assume the bootable maintenance utility has the features
necessary to force replacement of bad block and repair of RAID
protected blocks.  But what do you do when you'd rather not
boot the standalone utility?  I don't have the documentation
for one of these, or I'd think about checking.
