Well, I forgot to mention another weired thing. This is what happneded: * sdc failed and got removed from the RAID array (I pasted the log in my previous email) * sda got removed (no logs available) * sdb got removed (no logs available) When I realized tha machine was down, I found that the *sdd* was giving IO errors. So I had to replace sdd, but sda, sdb and sdc, who were those drives that "failed" first, are working good. > Do you run smartd, or any other smart data collection?

SATA controller firmware bug? Do you think changing the controller mode from "AHCI" to "IDE" in the BIOS might help to prevent these errors?
