I saw the thread that lead to the PR(hence my asking the question), but it
wasn't clear to me whether the submitter had tried any RAID configurations.

In any case, I have access to a box in my test lab with a multi-TB RAID
array on an mfi controller, and I've confirmed that the bug does not
exhibit itself there.  Thank goodness.  That would have ruined my whole
month.

Thanks everybody.
