No hiccups, data losses, or missing functionality. At the end of the whole ordeal, the filesystem (1 TB, 50% full) was still quite prisine, and fsck confirmed this. I was quite pleased :)
I second this. I endured numerous kernel crashes and other lockup/forced restart issues while setting up a 15 drive 3TB raid-6 (Crashes not really realted to the mb subsystem except for the oddity in the -mm kernel, and that was not raid-6 specific). I have popped out various drives and caused numerous failures/rebuilds with an ext3 system over 90% full while burn in testing and not experienced one glitch.
It has been used in production now for over a month and is performing flawlessly. I have run it in full/1-disk and 2-disk degraded mode for testing. I certainly consider it stable.
