What kernel?  I believe the SMP kernel included with 7.3 had an ext3

Why should there be anything special about RAID 0?  "tune2fs -l" will
tell you the status of the FS on any device.

preventative maintenance == backups.  If your kernel is going to fail
and corrupt the FS, little else is going to be of help.

If the FS is corrupt, you need to fsck.  To fsck, you have to unmount. 
If the OS needs that FS, you reboot.
