I guess it depens on your definition of "trouble". These are benchmarks I ran on this system with the 2 3wares in hardware RAID5 and a software RAID0 across them:
write read ----- ----ext2 81 180 ext3 34 222 XFS 109 213
That ext3 write speed was something I just wasn't willing to live with on a system that used to perform so much better (running RH7.3, hw RAID, and XFS).
Glad to know it's not just me. Using ext3 on a 3ware raid 5 of four 250gb disks. Writes are slow and seem to halt the server until they complete, but it's not a server where response time or write speed is critical.
