I have a server with 4 250GB hot swappable hard drives. Right now I have 1 drive partitioned as /boot, /swap, /, and /var, and I have the other 3 drives configured as RAID5 and mounted to /usr .
Basically everything is working, but have a few issues and would like to rebuild this machine as 8.04 LTS.
If I rebuild this machine, is there any way at all that I can get all 4 drives partitioned and mounted as RAID5 ?
When I built this machine a couple years ago, I struggled with trying to get all 4 drives in the RAID, and eventually gave up and went with what I have now - OS installed on one drive, the other 3 dedicated to RAID.
Is it possible for me to get all 4 drives configured as RAID5, or will I just be setting myself up for frustration and defeat if I attempt this ?
