You are expecting 24 spindles to align up when you have a write
request, which has to be 23*chunksize bytes in order to avoid RMW.
Additionally, your array is so big that you're very likely to hit
another error while rebuilding. Chop up your monster RAID5 array
into smaller arrays and stripe across them. Even better, consider
RAID10.
