This could be a IO error on the device but since you are using raid that 
should not be a problem unless the driver is doing funky things. Which 
compiler did you use to compile the kernel?
I am not familiar with the easyraid II. Is that a IDE raid card?

If XFS detects an IO error (hardware or software error) it will shut down 
the fs to prevent further damage.
