If you look at the change logs for versions between 2.6.8 and 2.6.24 you
will see a lot of improvements in disk error handling. The kernel you
are running is probably incapable of handling the particular failure you
are getting, at least for values of "handle" which include "cleanly
report failure back to the md layer." Unless you have some very good
reason for upgrading to another old kernel, you really should consider
moving to something more recent. Security backports seem to be aimed at
intrusion prevention and not data security in this case.
