A quick question for you, because I have a client looking at 3ware RAID
hardware at the moment:

Why are you running this as software RAID, rather than using the
hardware on the 3ware card?

you have a good reason to avoid it I would love to hear it (and possibly
save my client trouble and/or money...)
