 How often is it rebooting?

Only after the write failure. If I do read from the disks, everything is
fine

I could try that but it will take some time since I am only administering
the box and I have no access to it  (fizicaly)

Yes I am. The other 4 disks are ok and the system has no other symptoms of
any kind

Nope.

Crossed my mind too. I ran long and short smart test on it and it came up
ok. Temp is ~37 degrees celsius. Like I said, the disks were ok before the
power surge. All the fans are working fine.

Sorry, I forgot to put the list in CC
