Error with RAID: Physical Drive 0:1 killed due to SCSI phase

[Tim Bithoney]

This happens 1 time per week it seems, I can fix it manually by doing Alt-R
and marking all drives as online again. But essentially we lose the RAID
each week because of these sequence errors and then we need to reboot and
fix the RAID card, then its fine for a week.

Here is the relevant info:
