So far i've worked with vinum and raid1 creating mirrored disks, but i'd like now having 3 identical disks and a partition i could take off of an optional fourth create a completely redundant raid5 array where i can take any of the drives in question and set them to master and the box goes on. I was wondering any experiences with this? Thanks. Dave.
