My experience with RAID is all from windows - but it may translate to Linux. I would have ask why not use Hardware RAID (unless not available) so in the OS all your dealing with is a single disk setup rather than all this software RAID complication? As a side note on the Informix list I watch it is repeatedly said not to use RAID 5 if you can - explanation here: http://www.miracleas.com/BAARF/RAID5_versus_RAID10.txt Regards, Bryce Stenberg.
