I eventually got a kernel panic when copying large amounts of data to a
[degraded] raid6 array, which this time was the full 600 GB size.
Don't know if it is helpful to anyone but info below:

The panic is from reiserfs, and it's occuring because the FS is
getting corrupted due to the raid6 problems.

Ok.  Thanks.  I expected as much.  I will now try to make a raid 5 array 
instead, and make double sure I do not suffer the same fate.
I am cautious because I do not want to be bitten by a bug in this SuSE kernel 
or a bug in one of the SATA drivers. 

Pity though, that this was not discovered when testing with the smallish 
arrays I ran yesterday.  Seems like it takes a lot of beating to reproduce.
