I checked with the system owner. He does not have the output any more. Not sure how he cleared the problem. Kernel version: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Jan 10 17:57:00 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux I will ask him to try to reproduce the problem and get the output of /proc/mdstat.

It's hard to be sure without the preceding half-dozen lines, but I don't think it indicates that anything has aborted - I think it is just a meaningless warning. You can easily check with "ps". What kernel version? Can you show the full output of "cat /proc/mdstat" ??
