Have you considered running a script every minute via cron to check the 
drives status and send the result to a log file? When it disappears, 
you'll have a time stamp and then you can check the real logs for what 
went on @ that time.

I don't know how you're checking the drives status, but the following 
might form the basis for a script:
#!/bin/bash
date >>log.file
# Put your checking code here, and make sure you output to the same log 
file, most likely via>>log.file

Then add the script to crontab to run every minute and wait for it to 
happen again.
With a bit more sophisticatiuon, you could have the box send you an 
email or ring the bell when it occurs.
