Not if this causes any hard I/O errors...

The original log contained this:

To me this looks as if during the growing of the array some hard I/O
errors happenend. That may have been triggered by the growing of
the array. but only as fas as it caused additional disk load /
reading of otherwise idle areas.
I cannot see any indications for 2) or 3) here, so yes, it was 1),
if you consider spurious I/O aerrors as such.
Or am I missing soething else?
Best regards,
