This of course "kills" the RAID It shouldn't kill the RAID. Hmmm... The log is truncated. Can you please post full kernel log spanning from boot to array death? > I'm lost. > Anyone seen such thing?

One of common causes for this kind of problem is bad power and PSUs which are rated for high wattage aren't always good enough. Prepare a power supply (popular cheap $15 one should do) such that it can be powered up by itself. http://modtown.co.uk/mt/article2.php?id=psumod Move half of the drives to the new PSU and see whether the problem goes away.
