The device nodes will have been created by udev, reacting to the
detected devices presented by the RAID card.  Unfortunately, this
doesn't necessarily mean that the change/damage on the RAID controller
actually happened then, just that this is when it was first detected.

Does the controller itself- or the controller managment software, if you
are running any - generate any log messages?
