The raid went belly up 6am Tuesday when the nightly backup ran (how's that for irony) and hit whatever part of the filesystem that made the kernel sad.  I didn't notice the problem until 10am.  Looks like I managed to hit the bad disk lotto and get both mirrored drives throwing read errors, awesome.  Fortunately the raid volume was still mostly readable, so I spent the day transferring data from the sick drives to replacements.  Perhaps it's time to buy brand new drives rather than run on whatever junk I've accumulated in the basement.

I think everything is up now.
