Not that this helps, but you have my sympathy as I've been dealing with the same stuff from IBM over a storage server they sold us. Turns out I can make 7-12 drives in their external enclosures fail in short order (seconds to minutes between failures) by telling the software RAID to do a check, thus: for i in md[0123]; do echo check > /sys/block/$i/md/sync_action done Even though we could reproduce it on 64-bit Debian and 32-bit CentOS they wouldn't escalate the issue until we could reproduce it on RHEL5 - which we did today.
