Dear All, A bit of googling shows that quite a few people have encountered the following error, but I can't seem to track down any solutions. It is a large array consisting of 4 2TB physical drives with latest firmware from LSI. The are broken into 3 logical drives (2TB 2TB and 1.somethingTB) all raid 5.

(at least I think the two are connected). The load was reasonably high when the issue occured as there were about 10 simultaneous writes occuring of 1-2 Gig files. The actual bandwidth would have been fairly low though as the machine in question is on a 100MB switch. This is with ubuntu's 2.6.31-20-server. I can check against a more recent tree if anyone knows of a reason that might help. All suggests welcomed!
