I was having some trouble with my nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller during heavy traffic usage.

The ethernet controller kept going offline and I saw these messages in syslog:

eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq 

During one of the forced reboots, my raid 5 became mysteriously inactive.  It turns out 2 of my drives were marked as not-clean.

To recover, I issued the following commands:

 

sudo mdadm --stop /dev/md0 

sudo mdadm --assemble --scan --force
