You may well be right, given that you've a lot more knowledge about linux 
systems than I have.

I have set up smartctl to test both drives every night, mdm to send me an 
e-mail if the array degrades, a full backup to another drive every night, 
so I'll just sit back and wait for more information from my system.

I may well be back for more advice, later...
