We too are having the same problem and the only obviously common factor is
Maxtor SATA HDD.
We have two identical systems - 64 bit - 2 x Dual Opterons, 8Gb Ram running
Novell/SUSE SLES10. Both systems are showing the problem.
In our case the RAID controller is
3ware Escalade 9550SX - 8LP
And the HDD are:
Maxtor MaxLine III (7V250F0) 250GB SATA II
The symptoms here are almost exactly as you describe. A disc "drops out" once
every week or two and the only way to clear the problem is a power cycle - or
remove and replace the HDD (our system is hot-swap).
