RAID-6 is extremely stable on the 3Ware, while software RAID-6 is
dubbed experimental in the kernel. Software RAID can provide seducely
high performance when running benchmarks, but IMO it doesn't fly when
you need your CPU to do some other jobs, like running NFS daemons or
even worse, VMs. Under high CPU loads concurrently coming from the
software RAID and virtualisation stack, so many things may go wrong...
My advice : software RAID stinks under high CPU load/ high IO. Use
hardware RAID whenever possible because it provides more predictable
performance and remove many weird software interactions from the
picture.
