I had similar problems using XFS on a 3ware RAID5 device. Sometimes it
would run for a few days, other times it would lock up a couple of times
in an hour. It turned out that I had a flakey motherboard. A week or
so ago I swapped out a Gigabyte GA7PDXDW+ for a Tyan Tiger MPX S2466 and
haven't had a glitch yet. I also have a Tyan Thunder S2882G3NR-D that
works flawlessly using XFS and an Areca ARC-1120 RAID5 setup. I've
decided that, at least for server motherboards, I'll stick with Tyan
from now on.
