Hi,
we had recently a hard disk failure in a Hardware Raid5 setup.
I thought this should give us no worries, but.... ( we had some more
disk failures over the last year in similar setups with no problems at
all).
If the hardware raid presents itself as sdb1 and the hardware raid is
actually working you should be able to check your filesystem using xfs_repair.
If the raid5 setup has 2 disk failures at the same time and this was the
2nd disk going from the set then you are fried.
Hardware raid should _NEVER_ throw an IO error if the raid container is
still alive. If it does, either the raid controller is broken or in this
case there might have been a 2nd disk gone and thus it restults in a IO error.
The hardware raid controller presents itself as a virtual device and the
sectors you are referring to are not actual disk sectors.
I am afraid we cannot help you.
Cheers
