Is my RAID dying?

my raid is spitting errors into the log and whatnot. I am trying to figure out the problem but am not entirely sure how to go about it. Can you interpret this info?
__________
output from '/proc/mdstat'
Personalities : [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md0 : active raid1 hdg1[1]
39097152 blocks [2/1] [_U]
I thought this means one disk as been removed. For the last few days I though it meant hdg since hdg is spitting the erros in the log. Unfortunately I think now it means hde is removed and hdg is the last leg :o
______________
output from 'lsraid -a /dev/md0'
[dev 9, 0] /dev/md0 00000000.00000000.00000000.00000000 online
[dev ?, ?] (unknown) 00000000.00000000.00000000.00000000 missing
I don't know what this means?

This is RH9 on an ABIT NV7-133R (nforce) board I believe with external graphics). This seems to indicate hdg is barfing. I thought I had installed smartctl, but I guess I didn't. Or perhaps its on the part of hdg that is having trouble :(

DAMN!! this is from last august when my computer restarted. I was having trouble getting it to boot, but after a few days It booted and I just assumed all was well. My uptime is 236 days. I know some files are damaged, probably why my printer is not working anymore.
Anyway to tell which files are damaged?
I just restarted hde with hotadd. Anyone have any insight into significant points in this log that indicates stuff? Is there a RAID newsgroup maybe?
I'm upgrading to FC5 probably next weekend if I make it, with 2 new drives...Ill use the new raid tools as well, and hopefully smartctl. I'm going to need am email or something when raid is barfing from now on. DAMN I try and try to remain ignorant, but you just gotta darn near become a sysadmin to keep yoru stuff safe.
