Have you done a full scan of the disk looking for errors? You might just have silent read errors in your array. So as root do: # echo check >>/sys/block/md??/md/sync_action where md?? is the name of your md array you want to check. You can get the name from: cat /proc/mdstat and of course it would help to post that info as well if you want more help.
