I'd just create small partition at the begining of raid3/r0f for
journal. What you propose is not best because:
1. Journal is on the same disk as one of the RAID components.
2. Journal is not protected with RAID - ad12 dies and your whole system
will die.
My suggestion is to create small (~2GB) raid3/r0fa and big raid3/r0fd.
Then use raid3/r0fa as journal provider and raid3/r0fd as data provider.
