Hmm. One of my servers has a following Vinum volume defined: drive drive0 device /dev/da0s1e drive drive1 device /dev/da1s1e drive drive2 device /dev/da2s1d volume ftp plex org raid5 128k sd length 8248900s drive drive0 sd length 8248900s drive drive1 sd length 8248900s drive drive2 Until today I was under impression that this *is* RAID5.
