Large File Copy to Large ext3 RAID5 Array Often Stalls

Perhaps this IS a Samba problem. I created a new directory structure on my
RAID5 array from the Linux console and move its contents of large files to
the new subdirectory. Although I need to do more testing, the problem seem
to have vanished--at least when copying new files from my network Samba
clients to the new subdirectory.
Much of the subdirectory structure on the RAID5 array was originally created
using Windows Explorer on a Windows XP client by simply dragging and
dropping the subdirectory icons to the Samba share on the RAID5. Could
Samba have screwed up this operation in a manner resulting in my symptoms?
I'd sure like to better understand the problem so I can avoid it in the
future.
Thanks,
Cal
