Micheal,

This blurb is from the EXT3 Beta test site on beta.redhat.com:

Software Raid: 

Ext3 (and in fact all journaled filesystems on 2.2 Linux kernels)
*WILL NOT WORK ON SOFTWARE RAID1 OR RAID5 DEVICES*. This limitation of
the software code is removed in 2.4 kernels but on 2.2, running ext3
on a software raid device while the raid device is doing a background
resync (ie. after a crash or while a hot spare is being merged into
the raid array) will cause kernel panics.

Running on a hardware RAID controller should work perfectly well. 


-Eric.
