More information. Here's the point at which it breaks:
kernel: RAID5 conf printout:
kernel: --- rd:6 wd:5 fd:1
kernel: disk 0, s:0, o:1, n:0 rd:0 us:1 dev:sdc1
kernel: disk 1, s:0, o:0, n:1 rd:1 us:1 dev:[dev 00:00]
kernel: disk 2, s:0, o:1, n:2 rd:2 us:1 dev:sde1
kernel: disk 3, s:0, o:1, n:3 rd:3 us:1 dev:sdf1
kernel: disk 4, s:0, o:1, n:4 rd:4 us:1 dev:sdg1
kernel: disk 5, s:0, o:1, n:5 rd:5 us:1 dev:sdh1
kernel: md: syncing RAID array md7
kernel: md: minimum _guaranteed_ reconstruction speed: 100 KB/sec/disc.
kernel: md: using maximum available idle IO
bandwith (but not more than 100000 KB/sec) for reconstruction.
kernel: md: using 124k window, over a total of 35840896 blocks.
kernel: md: updating md7 RAID superblock on device
kernel: sdd1 [events: 00000016](write) sdd1's sb offset: 35840896
kernel: sdh1 [events: 00000016](write) sdh1's sb offset: 35840896
kernel: sdg1 [events: 00000016](write) sdg1's sb offset: 35840896
kernel: sdf1 [events: 00000016](write) sdf1's sb offset: 35840896
kernel: sde1 [events: 00000016](write) sde1's sb offset: 35840896
kernel: sdc1 [events: 00000016](write) sdc1's sb offset: 35856960
kernel: .
kernel: SCSI disk error : host 1 channel 0 id 3 lun 0 return code = 8000002
kernel: [valid=0] Info fld=0x0, Current sd08:31: sense key Aborted Command
kernel: Additional sense indicates Scsi parity error
kernel: I/O error: dev 08:31, sector 2264

kernel: raid5: Disk failure on spare sdd1
kernel: md_do_sync() got signal ... exiting
Again, I do know that sdd1 is fine, as I pounded it quite heavily a few
times now in a standard ext2 mount. The array's data also doesn't have any
errors while running in degraded mode.
