Basically don't run it more than once and don't run it at the 'wrong' time and it works. Not sure where the bug lies, but yeah I've seen that on 3 different machines!
Can you tell us when the "right" time is or maybe what the "wrong" time is? Also, is this kernel specific? Does it (increasing stripe_cache_size) work with RAID6 too?
Thanks,
