Help, my disk array has one dead member

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I need a quick bit of advice.

I have a stripe array under mdadm, and one of the disks is dead or dying.
Nevertheless, there's a bunch of stuff that is NOT gone, and I'd like to
capture all I can before I even power this thing off.
I'm missing some inodes, as well as some file and directory blocks.

It's all hobby stuff, and it's all rebuildable, but I'd like to capture all
the clues I can.

I'm looking for a way to copy the whole directory structure, just omitting
any file or directory that reports an error in the process.  I'll do it
with find(1) if I have to, but I'm wondering if there's a utility that's
easily adapted to this situation.  Partial directories are okay.  Partial
files are not.
