Hi, I've installed an Openbsd4.0 server with a LSI Megaraid S-ATA 150-6 LSI Controller. It has a RAID5 logical drive containing 6 HDs (1 is hot spare).

I thought about using 4x350GB (or X x XXX GB, any recommandations are appreciated) partitions (to reduce the fsck times when fsck is needed), and concatenate them via ccd to /home/backup?! Is this the best way to do it or would you recommand me to do it differently? $ sudo bioctl ami0 Volume Status Size Device ami0 0 Scrubbing 1600332496896 sd0 RAID5 60% done 0 Online 400083124224 0:0.0 noencl < ST3400620NS 3.AE> 1 Online 400083124224 0:2.0 noencl < ST3400620NS 3.AE> 2 Online 400083124224 0:1.0 noencl < ST3400620NS 3.AE> 3 Online 400083124224 0:4.0 noencl < ST3400620NS 3.AE> 4 Online 400083124224 0:3.0 noencl < ST3400620NS 3.AE> ami0 1 Hot spare 400083124224 0:5.0 noencl < ST3400620NS 3.AE> Thank you very much Didier
