I have seen similar problems on my graid3.  I think it's simply the
disk which stops responding to commands, or at least ata(4) can't talk
to the disk anymore...

I see it on:

ad10: 305245MB <WDC WD3200SD-01KNB0 08.05J08> at ata5-master SATA150
ad12: 305245MB <WDC WD3200SD-01KNB0 08.05J08> at ata6-master SATA150
ad14: 305245MB <WDC WD3200YS-01PGB0 21.00M21> at ata7-master SATA150

After a reboot everything seems fine again and my RAID is rebuilt.

I don't know why it happens, but it sucks :-/.  I'm running 7-CURRENT
BTW.
