Hi!

Another mail said that the kernel cannot be placed to a RAID5 array, only to a RAID1 array, so who's right? Or did I got something wrong?

(4 X 250GB ) - (1 X 250GB) = 750GB without hotspare. Although having a
hot-spare may be worth it.

You should be able to RAID-5 /boot and all other partitions (minus swap,
of course). As long as the RAID modules are built into the kernel and you
have a functional raid config, you should be good.

Hi!

Thank you all for the fast replies, you helped me a lot. Unfortunately
we cannot afford a HW RAID card, so I have to make it with software RAID.
Now I have the idea to use RAID5 and if I get the picure rigth I need
let's say a ~100MB /boot in RAID1, 512MB swap not in RAID on every disk,
and I can build a RAID5 from the rest of the storage space, and will be
able to use 750GB-(/boot*4)-(swap*4) and the 4th HD will store the
so-called parity information.
