You might want to lower this number to see if that gets you out of the stalls. Or temporarily shut down mythtv.I will try lowering those numbers next time this happens, which will probably be within the next day or two. That's about how often this happens.
Unfortunately, it has happened again, with speeds at near zero.

atop doesn't show ANY activity on the raid device or the individual drives.

Also, I tried writing to a test file with the following command, and it
hangs. I let it go for about 30 minutes, with no change.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=test bs=1M count=1
dmesg only reports hung tasks. It doesn't report any other problems.
Here's my dmesg output:

I'm going to try rebooting into single user mode, and see if the rebuild
succeeds without stalling.
