I've set up quite a lot of those RAID cards (about 100) and there is a
significant failure rate on these (much higher than the newer 9650). I
had both cases of bad controller RAM and CPU overheating several times.

Try unmounting the filesystem and start a RAID verify:

tw_cli /cX/uY start verify

This will generate high IO. Check dmesg for controller errors. Try
remounting after a couple of hours of verification. If the controller
is fried, it most probably fail, but shouldn't crash the system.
