Ok. Thanks. I expected as much. I will now try to make a raid 5 array instead, and make double sure I do not suffer the same fate. I am cautious because I do not want to be bitten by a bug in this SuSE kernel or a bug in one of the SATA drivers. Pity though, that this was not discovered when testing with the smallish arrays I ran yesterday. Seems like it takes a lot of beating to reproduce.
