My experience:
I'm running 2.6.0-test6 on a dual pentium 3 with software raid-5 across 5 disks on two different IDE hardware controllers (VIA and Promise). I've got a 224 GB reiserfs partition on that.
After 8 days uptime, it doesn't seem to have blown up yet. However I don't stress it heavily - just a nightly rsync or two which does a lot of reading and writing, and I export my music collection on it via NFS, which is a low level of read activity.
I mirror the RAID to an external firewire drive nightly for backup, since I don't trust it 100% either, yet.
I'd also be interested to know if there are known problems with software RAID5 in 2.6.
Hope that helps,
