i have 6 sata drives and 2 controler cards a 2 channel and 4 channel + and ide drive.
i am building a backup system using bacula.
i want to boot redhat linux through the ide drive and put the 6 sata disks on the same raid 5 array. is it possible or do i have to build two raid 5 arrays. and lets say the hardisk ide that i am using to boot up dies, would it be possible to recover the array or should i do software raid 1 with the ide drive so use two ide drive incase one dies.
is it possible to do software raid 5 when the controller does not support it.
I know this now a really bacula related question, but any advise is apprecated.
many thanks for your attention
