John, You said you were using hardware raid. What raid controller is it? (make and model please)...
If the raid is integrated with the motherboard - make and model of motherboard please...
Looking to see if it is genuine hardware raid or fake-raid...
Also can you let us know how the disk(s) are partitioned (cat /etc/fstab)
and finally show the output of /usr/sbin/pvdisplay -
