Yes, well, don't put the journal on the raid partition. Put it
elsewhere (anyway, journalling and raid do not mix, as write ordering

This is a sort of a nonsense, really.  Both claims, it seems.
It's perfectly correct, as far as I know!
Not really wishing to get into the middle of a flame war, but I
didn't really see how this could be true so I asked for more info on
ext3-users.

I got the following response:
