We are using linux raid on top of multipath devices (each jbod disk has
two paths).
Usually medium erros are handled as below. See this bug for a similar
problem but fixed in RHEL6.

This is all fine and dandy.
We had a case as below and this continued repeatedly for 4 hours until I
logged in and manually failed both paths sdx and sdcf. - (sdx and sdcf
are the same drive). The filesystem running on md3 was hung.

Anyone know if there is a workaround or patch for this? What does "Add.
Sense: Data synchronization mark error" mean?
Thanks
