Basically RAID works fine, but journalled file systems don't for the
reason you mention above. I spoke to Transarc about this a while ago -
we did try doing it, and the journalled file systems seem to be just fine
for normal running, but as you say, if you reboot the system it fsck's
all the journalled file systems. I pointed this out, and I really think
it'd be simple to modify the Transarc fsck to check for journalled file
systems. I've been thinking about doing this myself, since we do have AFS
source code - but it never gets to the top of the pile of problems to
look into.
Transarc support indicated that it would probably not be hard, but they
didn't sound like they were going to consider it a really high priority
eitheer.
