What has happened to me (as Greg mentioned) is that repeatedly interrupted background fscks (having the system
crash while background fsck was executing) might result in a seriously damaged fs.
Add to this, the possible overhead by rebuilding software raid (gmirror) at the same time,
and the situation becomes more complicated.
So its better to replace/fix/remove this buggy controller, before anything else.
