mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.

The scenario in the arstechnica article is very rare. It assumes that the data somehow was written to the disk incorrectly (or that the data silently changes without being re-written). In either case, the reads and writes are completing with no error reported to the driver.

Sorry to be sound skeptical here, but if you were seeing these routinely I am thinking something else was going on.
Again, no. If a read fails, RAID kicks in. If a write fails, the normal reallocated sector occurs. If the I/O doesn't fail, but the data is invalid, software RAID doesn't help you.
