All:

I've been asked to setup a RAID-5 server using software raid. I've not
worked with gvinum or vinum for that matter. I know from following the
mailing lists there have been some concerns over gvinum in the
5.3-RELEASE. How are things working today?

The plan would be use a 40GB ATA/100 Drive for the system and 4 SATA
drives for the RAID-5 array. Will gvinum be happy with this kind of
arrangement?

Thanks in advance


Ed
