Sorry for this last mail. I have found another mistake, but I don't know if this bug comes from iscsi-target or raid5 itself. iSCSI target is disconnected because istd1 and md_d0_raid5 kernel threads use 100% of CPU each !

Given that the summary shows 87.4% idle, something is not right. You might try another tool, like vmstat, to at least verify the way the CPU is being used. When you can't trust what your tools tell you it gets really hard to make decisions based on the data.

ALSO: you have zombie processes. Looking at machines up for 45, 54, and 470 days, zombies are *not* something you just have to expect. Do you get these just about the same time things go to hell? Better you than me, I suspect there are still many ways to have a "learning experience" with iSCSI.

Hope that and the summary confusion result in some useful data.
