We removed the suspect disk from the arrays, but it crashed again with the
same symptoms (I/O related hung kernel tasks).  We are concerned that it
is a controller/motherboard problem.  I'm waiting on some email from Ward
to see what he thinks before issuing a definite plan.

One complication is that vcs-noshell's root filesystem is on a raid array
which is undergoing resynchronization.  It didn't finish in the interval
between the second crash and the third crash today and has started over.
