Thanks Mike.............I do have a back up in place now to avoid sudden death in the future

All fixed thanks to Crumble for a super human effort and avoid an early funeral after recovering the wedding photos

Thanks to Mike as well

Kind regards
Beeker

Not a bad idea, I assume no other data will magically appear after rebuilding the RAID5 and spot on moved all the data to my QNAP with 16TB of storage in RAID6

Can I rebuild the existing RAID5 to RAID10 once I get that extra HDD back into the original RAID array

Just confirming 

mkfs.ext3 /dev/sde1

Sorry Crumble no luck with that command see below

dcerouter_1024641:/home/# mdadm --fail /dev/md1 /dev/sde1
mdadm: set device faulty failed for /dev/sde1:  No such device

dcerouter_1024641:/home/# mdadm: set /dev/sde1 faulty in /dev/md1
bash: mdadm:: command not found

Cheers
Beeker

Can I format it with out taking it out and putting it into another pc

Tried that and still got the same thing as per below

dcerouter_1024641:/home/# mdadm --add /dev/md1 /dev/sde1
mdadm: /dev/sde1 not large enough to join array
dcerouter_1024641:/home/#

Checked this as well just to give you some more info

dcerouter_1024641:/home/# cat /proc/mdstat
