Is raid 1 useless for ext3/file system corruption?

A web board i post on recently went down due to hd corruption. I suggested to the owner of the board that they use a raid 1 array but i was told that there was ext3/file system corruption and that raid 1 wouldn't have helped.

Can someone enlighten me on this? If there is file corruption then why would it be copied to the second drive?

a) Why wouldn't it. It most likely wasn't the drive that corrupted the data, but if it was:
b) Which drive has the correct data?

Hmmm...something i hadn't thought about. So basically raid 1 wouldn't help for any file corruption.
Not sure why i never thought of that before.😱
