The problem actually wasn't disk or raid related, but filesystem related after a kernel oops and panic. jfyi.

On the vger.kernel.org outage Posted Mar 21, 2008 11:44 UTC (Fri) by Cato (subscriber, #7643) [Link] This is something of a concern too - would be interesting to know the filesystem used, how it was configured (e.g. for ext3, was barrier=1 in effect to ensure that data=ordered works properly with drive-level write-caching), kernel version, etc. A kernel oops shouldn't cause a very long filesystem recovery, unless perhaps the disks are so huge that a full fsck takes a very long time. But then a journalling filesystem should prevent such long fsck's anyway...
