I've been running LVM on RAID (spanning two RAID-5 arrays) for some time
now and have had no trouble (that I know of: a check just completed OK,
so the RAID layer at least is consistent). The arrays have both IDE and
SCSI (sym53c875) components.

Of course this is a subtle and intermittent problem so this is hardly
a green light :/
