I currently have 5 9GB scsi drives, I have four of them setup in a
raid0 configuration currently. I would like to do away with this
configuration, and setup a linux software raid. I would prefer to use a
stable 2.0.X kernel but will use a 2.1.x kernel if neccessary. I am
curious as to whether I can set them up in the following configuration. 3
Drives for Data 1 for parity and another for a hot spare. If so, I've read
through several raid-howto's and none of them give a step by step setup of
raid5 on Linux. Can someone send me a list of things to do to go about
setting this up, or if not does anyone know of one that's currently out
there that they could point me to? Thank you,
Todd Smith
