So one way of proceeding would be to delete all the existing partitions on the 4 HDs, leaving them all as free space. I see you have 3 partitions on each HD, so you created these 3 partitions before creating the RAID sets. I think I need to add only 1 making 2 partitions on each HD, swap and the r

Sorry for all the questions. Should I create a swap partition on one disk prior to assembling RAID, does it matter which disk it's on? You said to make all to make all RAID slices the same size, so the swap size would have to be allocated to a partition on all disks? Where does the boot sector g
