This error mostly happens overnight, there is no data lost.I have no idea what is causing this and have searched Google and found several other instances of this error without a successful conclusion. there is some articles http://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34807 here:http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/8/6/24http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/78181http://forums.techguy.org/unix-linux...device-dm.htmlI have so far reloaded all the software (Distribution: CentOs version 4 X86_64 Dell PowerEdge 2900 2 gig Ram. Raid array 5) and this is still happening every night. Is this a Kernal Bug ?Can anyone give me a lead on what to do next ? This is the first time using Linux on our servers, and I really need to get over this problem so any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have two 140GB hard drives in a RAID-1 (mirror) array.My guess is that the problem lies in one of three areas: (1) one or both hard drives are dying, (2) the RAID controller is buggy/dying and/or (3) there is a software problem (e.g. RAID driver).Any ideas?Thank
