XFS Journal on md device

["Chris Seufert" <seufert@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,

I currently have a 2.1Tb xfs partition, sitting on a hardware SATA raid card.

However i also have 2 hdd's (for OS etc) in software raid1, with a md
device for the xfs log file. Its a 100mb RAID1 (under /dev/md4), now
when i halt/reboot the box, even after the xfs partition is unmounted
(as part of the shutdown sequence as normal on debian etch) the
/dev/md4 device cant be cleanly stopped.

Is having the log on a redundant partition a good idea or is it better
to leave it as an internal log or is there another way round this
problem.
