Hello,

I've got a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop with dual 2.5" hard drives setup
using software RAID1.  I've had this computer for about a year and half
and all's been working well.

I've experienced intermittent software RAID errors like those found in
the "softraid-fail.txt" attachment.

Initially I suspected a kernel bug because it started around the same
time I'd upgraded the kernel (around the 2.6.30 upgrade) but subsequent
kernel upgrades haven't improved the situation.

I've run smartctl --all and bablocks on both disks, but nothing is
reported as faulty.

I don't understand what is causing RAID to report these faults and would
like some ideas as to how I can further diagnose the problem.

Thanks in advance,
Carlos
