Hi Steve!

I have a similar - maybe the same - problem in buster - see the thread
"Software RAID blocks" on this list about a month ago. Unfortunately
still no solution. :-(

I have the advantage that my system harddisk is outside the RAID on a
separate disk. Therefore I'm still able to send "low level" commands
like smartctl or fdisk to the disks in the array during the block. If
I trigger the right disk the block aborts immediately.

Maybe this works for you, too?
You can try:

for i in /dev/sd{b..f}; do echo "DISK: ${i}"; smartctl -l scterc "${i}"; sleep 3; done

or:

for i in /dev/sd{b..f}; do echo "DISK: ${i}"; fdisk -l "${i}"; sleep 3; done

My RAID disks are sdb, sdc, sdd, sde, sdf. You have to change sd{b..f}
above according to your setup.

I use a 3 second delay between the disk to be able to tell which disk
was responsible for the block.

Hope this helps a little.

Tom
