As a self-followup, ITE released 1.45 a little while back, with much better
2.6 compatability. I did a brief stress test (copying around ~50 gig of
mp3s), and the driver worked just fine, no lockups, no corruption.
Moreover, it appears that the driver might even let a system boot from the
RAID if the driver is in the initrd. As an added bonus (to me), when running
in mirrored mode, you can yank a drive out of the mirror, and use it
standalone and it just works. No FS trickery or anything.
