Yes that was a typo sorry. I did reformat /dev/md0 and a when it started
formating it gave me those errors again. I did a little searching and the
problem is not in the raid array, but I'm still not sure what is causing the
problem. The error was:

hde: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hde: drive not ready for command
hde: status timeout: status=0xf0 { Busy }
hde: drive not ready for command
ide2: reset: success

I get a bunch of those. I removed the drive and I reformated the array and
it works fine but I guess that if I put that drive back in it'll start doing
it again. Could it be a bad drive or something? If it is what's the use of
having a RAID-1 array if it corrupts your file system when a drive is bad?
