Strange problem with STATUS of Intel MatrixRAID

[jan.koukal at fs.cvut.cz]

Hello I have this problem:

Yesterday server with FreeBSD 6.0 was self restarted . In messages was this:

Mar  8 20:03:11 mail kernel: ar1: WARNING - mirror protection lost. RAID1

This is strange that raid tell me ad8 detached and raid is DEGRADED and
after reboot is quickly READY.

What does it mean? Bad disk,board, FreeBSD : () ?

In this moment on ar1 was written some big backup.


Thanks
