Hello,

A few days ago my server experienced a single disk failure in a 8 disks RAID
1+0 configuration. Kernel is 2.6.8.1 w/smp, it's a P4 HT machine with 2GB RAM,
filesystem is ext3. 

When the disk failure happens, my webserver stop serving pages, "top" show that
load average is around 300, iowait is ~100%, I can still telnet into my box but
I can't umount the mounted RAID10 volumn, I can't kill the running apache, I
can't even shutdown the machine successfully. Finally, I have to switch of the
power to shut it off.

I found the following at my /var/log/messages:

then I can't do anything on the freezing RAID1+0 volumn. Shouldn't the kernel
kick the bad disk off and keep the RAID running?

My raidtab is as follow:
