 From the hardware RAID side of things there shouldn't be a problem as 
it doesn't care what file system is being used - all it sees are bits.

As for Btrfs it'll see a single disk (device) unless you carve up your 
RAIDed physical disks into multiple logical disks.

Personally I'd prefer the RAID aspects to be handled by hardware rather 
than software.

HTH,
Simon
