I had a problem w/ my system crashing and I noticed there was an I/O error to /dev/hda. In a fit of panic, I swapped the IDE cable of /dev/hda and /dev/hdc and reboot. Come to find out, my CPU fan was dying causing the CPU not to work.
Anyway ... Upon putting the drives back where they belong, I notice that /dev/hda is kicked out of the raid1 array as faulty. Reading the kern.log, it looks like this is occuring b/c of a superblock update time inconsistency. How can I correct this so that both /dev/hda and /dev/hdc are in the array /dev/md0?
