It turns out, for what ever reason, the 3rd device (in what ever configuration I used) was not being processed. I tried using raid6, and the disks were processed correctly. I tried raid1, and the mirror was processed correctly. Raid5 was the only one that would not processes correctly. I reinstalled the OS using Fedora Core 5 64bit, and upon creating the raid5 array the disks were processed correctly. This leads me to believe there may have been a problem with the raid5 module or the kernel.
