A safer method is probably to just add the "noht" kernel boot option and
reboot.

Did you set the same stride / stripe-width values on your FS when you
initialized them? Are both really freshly-made ext4 FS and not e.g. the
old one an ext3 mounted as ext4? Do all the disks have the same cache,
link speed and NCQ settings (for their own caches, not the controller;
try /c0/p0 show all etc. with tw_cli)?
