Before you do this, you may want to some serious investigation about failure modes. The article at http://blogs.zdnet.com/storage/?p=162 was just the first example I looked at after searching for [raid 5 terabyte]. Essentially, with today's larger disks, the time it takes to do a rebuild is sufficiently long enough that the risk of a second drive failure during the rebuild is high enough to be troublesome. mrc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
