I turned off VT-d, and the problem went away.
I turned on VT-d, and turned off all of the sub-options:
Interrupt remapping
Coherency
ATS support
Pass-through DMA
and the problem remained.
So them I did a hail mary, and upgraded my GA-X79-UP4 from the F2 BIOS
to the beta F5c BIOS.
VT-d and all of the sub-features are turned on, and I'm on my 6th full
read pass over the entire RAID array (when it would crash before 15%
before), with no problem.
Hardware problem, indeed.
Thanks for the pointer; I wouldn't have thought of trying a BIOS
upgrade without it.
