I dunno if it's any help, but I've set up a similar RAID5 system
recently with 3x2TB hitachi disks on NetBSD/amd64, my issues and setup
can be found here:

Once i got it all working I've had no issues with it and it's worked
well. The initial populate was done in degraded mode too (I ran out of
SATA connectors in the box!) and then parity restored, again without
issue.

I've also been through at least one full parity rebuild since then.

Cheers,

Ian
