What version of -stable are you using?

The likely problem here is that the Raidion cannot handle the number
of transactions we throw at it in parallel.  Do you get any additional
information if you boot -v?  Without -v, I can't tell if the device
is returing QUEUE FULL messages or not.

This is not a SCSI bug, but a problem with how the FS layers deal with
devices that suddenly go away.

That's also not a SCSI bug.  I don't know why the clean bit is not
set on any filesystem that is synched properly.
