I also wanted to ask if it is supported to use md array during recovery?

about 1 hour while recovery finishes before i mount fs on md, or else it
crashes. I tried many kernel versions from 2.4.16 to 2.4.19-pre8, with
the same result.

It *should* work. Are you using this on a SMP machine? There are some race
situations causing crashes, but it should work with an UP machine.

Here is a patch produced by gody@agenda.si that should help in SMP
machine. It not pretty and it's not '100% right', but it seems to work.
