Wrong, ataraid works fine on 5.x. However there are some ATA software RAID setups that I havn't done the metadata code for yet, but they'll get there eventually time permitting. You can always use atacontrol to setup a RAID on *any* ATA disk/controller setup, however you will need a BIOS with a known metadata layout (Promise/Highpoint) to be able to boot from it (se man atacontrol(1) for details).. -- -Søren
