gvinum supports RAID5, but is a bit more complicated than g[mirror|stripe|
raid3]. There is also an experimental graid5 module but last I heard it 
was a long way from being ready to commit and it doesn't seem to have 
much momentum (although FreeNAS uses it).

If/when I get around to buying more disks for my home server I'll be using 
ZFS. YMMV.
