Hi everyone,

        I've got a machine with on RAID10 array and one RAID1 array.  The
RAID10 array is six IBM 16G drives, the RAID1 array is a pair of WD 13G.
During heavy disk I/O, to either array, I've started to get "raid1: out of
memory, retrying..." errors on the console.  It seems to happen on both
arrays.  The machine has 128M of RAM and two 128M swap partitions; is this
really an out of memory error or is there a problem on my arrays?

mdstat and raidtab:
