What RAID card (or is this SW RAID)? I'd start with the diagnostics. Was the volume striping or distributed?

If distributed, you will be missing some files. -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Founder and CEO Scalable Informatics Inc. email: landman at scalableinformatics.com web : http://scalableinformatics.com http://scalableinformatics.com/sicluster phone: +1 734 786 8423 x121 fax : +1 866 888 3112 cell : +1 734 612 4615 The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.
