You obviously have a very performance-sensitive situation, and writing 
to a software raid can seriously affect performance. Any chance you can 
move the database to a hardware RAID? For that matter, ideally I would 
recommend completely eliminating the software raid from that machine if 
you can, or at least only put read-only data on it, such as the /usr 
directory.
