Strange, I thought I answered this message, but I don't see any 'r' flag. Did you repeat the question? That doesn't help anybody. > Is it possible to use vinum and RAID-5 configuration? Yes.

None beyond what the hardware will do. > What would be suggested software and hardware configurations? That depends on what you want to do.
