Your best bet is to replace the disk. 30 minutes wait time seems a bit odd though. I have a similar situation where one disk is having problems, requiring the disk to restart, but that only takes approx. a minute. You can mark the disk as bad and replace it before the other disk fails I guess (after all, there's not much point in relying on a faulty disk).
The problem is not replacing the disk, but how to avoid 30 minutes downtime due to some low level kernel routine getting stuck. Regards Harri
