The message about overlaping physical units does not indicate failure...
Where there are multiple mirrors on the same physical disks, the Raid code
avoids recovering more than one at a time for performance reasons. It
should recover the first one selected, then sequentially the other mirrors
in turn until complete. Hopefully you have seen this progress in
/dev/mdstat .
There should be no need to wait for the recovery to complete before
operating, nor to run fsck on the raw partitions.
Good Luck, Rich B
