Fsck'ing mounted partitions is not good idea. Read-only mounted root partition gets fsck'ed at boot but that is special case. > This problem is most probably caused because the drives are never unmounted > when the system shuts down, their always "busy" at the time.

Raid5 driver should also tolerate unclean shutdowns. Can you post exact commands that you use to set up raid5 and loop, as well as fsck command that you used.
