Software Raid for clones

Professionaly, I deal with Proliant systems with Smartarrays ... which is
to say I deal very little with the hardware interface-level stuff, it just
always works. Personally I inherited this E6750 (Core 2 Duo) ASUS
motherboard and wanted thought I'd build a nice server for general use. I
added 4 SATA 250 Gb disc drives and after reading about the horrors &
failures of the cheapie Raid controllers, I decided to try Linux software raid.
I made Raid volumes for each drive pretty much the same size as I would an
ordinary drive, but all four drives. I then specified raid devices (md0
was /boot using Raid1 between drive 0 &1) md2 was /, likewise mirrored
between 0&1 while md3, 4 & 5 were RAID5 across all 4 drives. (so drives 2
&3 each had two wasted partitions and each drive also had a regular old
swap partition)
Anaconda installed Linux (RHEL4-U5-i386) and during final boot, I got a
message that Raid Superblocks weren't correctly written, but it came up &
ran fine. I gave it some file copying work to do while I was busy ... and
I came back 2 hours later to find Linux reporting that /home was now a
read-only file system (as was /usr & /var) and the system was, as they say,
dead as fried chicken.
Upon reboot, I got a message from every MD partition that there were not
enough available partitions for /usr /var & /home and that they each had 2
of 4 devices failed.
Repeated the steps above ... not correcting a single step ... got the same
results ->> that didn't surprise me, so I'm at least partially insane.
So far, web searching has yielded (1) Asus motherboards are bad (2)
Sata-nv drivers buggy (3) Sata disc drives evil (4) Forget about Raid on
/boot or / (5) Linux doesn't support sata or Raid very well until RHEL5
and the ubiquitous #6 .... with me on almost any project .... that I suck
as a technician, in way over my head, have so many knowledge gaps that I
skipped so many crucial steps that the only wonder is that the hardware did
not turn on me and try to electrocute me.
So now the questions:
(A) Anyone see an obvious, incorrectable flaw in the technology such as a
'known condition' given the situation? (trust me .. #6 is a universal
constant)
(B) Anyone suggest the step(s) that I missed that even a trained monkey
would have noticed (be honest, I can take it)
(C) If I just invested the $$ in an LSI logic or MSI (real hardware raid)
controller, would all these problems just vanish?

>Hi Peter,
>I'm also running a Dell MD1000 in RAID5 on a CentOS system (4.6), with LVM
>on ext3.
>I never came across a 2TB limit or your particular errors... I had one 1.4TB
>LVM volume which I extended into the 3.6TB of the MD1000, for one large 5TB
>LVM volume (mounted on root). The only problem I had was getting the driver
>loaded at boot time (solved with a new initrc). I hope this helps...
