It is had this configuration for a few years - and tends to go down with powercuts etc. rather than anything else. No disk corruption. There is another with a similar configuration which is on a UPS and has a lot more uptime. I'm just using SCSI at the moment on my 2.4 kernel BP6 box - but I never noticed any problems with IDE when I was using it (I had to do a small patch for a bug which made hdparm refuse to change back to mode4 once it had gone down to a lower mode - this with 2.4.18 and lower.).
