I'm new to this raid via software. I just need to do fsck manually to /dev/md0 
because it encountered an I/O error. After doing fsck, I need to
discover which hard drive cause the error. Since the affected partition is 
raid1 (/dev/md0), I need to know which one of them is the I need to replace
to. I tried to check via mdadm. See below:

[r...@core home]# mdadm --detail /dev/md0
/dev/md0:

When I do fdisk -l, here is the result:

[r...@core home]# fdisk -l

/dev/hda5           44796      155061    55574032+  83  Linux

However, when I do mdadm /dev/md0 --fail /dev/hdg1, it says "mdadm: set device 
faulty failed for /dev/hdg1:  No such device".

I believe I need to replace the sata disk but I do not know which one of them. 
Also, I have a feeling that the software raid1 is now properly set
though I'm new to this software raid thing.

Could anyone give an insight? My suspect is that /dev/hdg1 was not replicating 
the /dev/hde1 but I cannot mount it since the system is Linux raid
autodetect.
