I experienced some real nasty stability issues under multiple hardware
platforms / kernels etc when combining XFS + SWRaid + NFS. Any one of
the 3 on their own was fine. Together they produced unexplained
crashes (again, multiple hardware, multiple distros / multiple
kernels)

Went to HW Raid, kept XFS+NFS, all is well.
