I have done what I *think* is an exhaustive amount of reading about geom and vinum concerning RAID5. My question is this. Is there a reliable RAID5 solution under geom? I know you can do it vinum but I'm afraid to use vinum as it seems its on the way out (being replaced by geom). I'm a recent Linux defector and RAID5 was pretty darn simple over there. I want to build an array that I will have for a very long time to come and I'm afraid if I build it with vinum, a new release of FreeBSD in the future will drop support for it. If any of you guru's were building a software RAID5, how would you do it? I do NOT want to use a hardware RAID5 card. -Ryan
