Had a few ext3 go ro on /var and /home and trigging a kernel panic is usually overkill, especially on raid-1, I would have expected the "journal demon" bail out the "bad disk" and do fsck and restart the journal and resync etc, but with Red Hat 7.3-9 and Debian, it's "at best" "errors=remount-ro". -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
