My experience with raid5 was a bad one. I had one drive fail on my

went to add another drive and rebuild, another (of the same vintage)
went out.
Now, I'm not 100% sure that it wasn't my fumbly fingers that did
something to corrupt the drives during reconstruction, but it was a
lesson learned.
probably no mistake. One of the most common Nagios monitors I've
provided for people is a Linux software RAID monitor. Naturally I
haven't kept a copy, but it's pretty simple, just awk /proc/mdstat and
alert if the number of good drives changes.
