linux-ide couldn't help much, aside from recommending a bleeding-edge patchset which should fix a lot of things SATA: http://home-tj.org/files/libata-tj-stable/ What fixed the error, though, was exchanging one of the cables. (Just my luck, it was new and supposedly quality, ... oh well) I'm still interested in why the md code didn't fail the disk. While it was 'up' any access to the array would hang for a long time, ultimately fail and corrupt the fs to boot. When I failed the disk manually everything was fine (if degraded) again.
