This was discussed on cobalt-users last week, including a reply from 
one of the Sun engineers.  The problem in the latest kernel has been 
found, and a fixed kernel is on its way to QA.  This affects the Qube 
Pro and the RaQ 4r.  Not sure about XTR.

In the meantime, there's a "hack" to fix the problem.  Execute this at 
the commandline as root, and then add it to /etc/rc.d/rc.local (so 
that it runs each time the server gets rebooted):

echo 5000 > /proc/sys/dev/md/speed-limit
