What's unusual?  Having a 3 drive raid1 array?

It's not unusual for a system to crash after a RAID array gets sent to
degraded mode.  Happens a lot on a system I administer.  Probably
caused by a linux-si3112-ide bug which first results in read errors, then
(after md has been told to resync) results in a complete system crash...

Just noticed MD usage in a screenshot:

Just in case anybody cares :-).
