[...] Anyway to mark the sector as bad and restart the raid?

you should *immediately* run an intensive check on the drive; as root, run "smartctl -t long /dev/sda" which will last several minutes to hours depending on the size of the drive. Once it's finished you can see the results by running "smartctl -a /dev/sda" which may also show the LBA address of the failing block(s); there are some references (use Google) explaining what to do to mark (and remap) the sector. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ran 'smartctl' on the drive and found the error, however I am not sure how to fix the error it found.
