Did you pull the original failed disk out? A badly broken disk can make the entire filer unhappy.

a disk died. it started to rebuild on a spare, the above continued to happen several times so I thought maybe the spare it was trying to rebuild on was bad so I pulled it out. It came back up and began to rebuild on a different spare and the above happened again. Is it possible that this other spare is also bad? What else could it be?

Thanks Dan Finn
