What's your process for when a drive fails on your software RAID 5
machines? Have you always been able to boot with one drive gone? Or do you
have some sort of boot CD with software RAID configured properly on it? I
have only tried out RAID 5 once, on a server that ate hard drives for
lunch, and I was never able to successfully boot after a drive bit the
dust, and using software RAID whenever a drive failed the machine would
lock up completely.
