This sounds more-or-less like my problem (I'm not using RAID though):

That's not using vanilla or Debian kernels; it's an Ubuntu machine.
As I mentioned in that thread, I've had this problem with that disk
and controller pair in two machines. The second is still in use so
I'm including my uptimes list for it if anyone is interested in the
length of time it usually takes to manifest. I can live without the
contents of the disk in question, so I tend to leave it a couple of
days (maybe even a week) before rebooting if I have any active
screen sessions with state I don't want to lose.
The shortest entries are probably reboots for some other reason, but
I wouldn't be surprised if a couple of them were just times when this
problem arose more quickly than usual. It *seems* to me to be linked
with heavy usage, particularly writes, but I'm not convinced this
isn't coincidence since I haven't any record of how heavily the disk
is in use. I may well be able to get it to manifest very quickly by
going back to using NFS, but I haven't tried.
