FC3 with raid1 freeze!!!! ver II!

[Dmitry]

I wanted to simulate failing SATA drive in raid 1, I simply switch off
power on sda HDD, when the system was running. But my system almoust
freezes!!! Is it problems with half-done SATA-driver in kernel or
something other problem?

See my description:

When system is running I power off second HDD (/dev/sdb) and my system almost freeze!!! After that I power down my system, plug on power to second HDD and system start. There are no error messages in /var/log/messages about failing /dev/sdb, no error mail from mdadm!

Three months ago I tested FC2 with 2 ATA HDD, and when I powered off
second HDD, system was fine, I got message from mdadm about failing
HDD and my system was still fine.

But FC3 almost freeze. System normally boots from sdb when sda unplugged.

Can someone help me?
