Hmm. Not sure I can do RAID5 (and boot from it). Presumably, though, this would continue to function if a drive went bad. It also prevents ZFS from managing the devices itself, which I think is undesirable (according to the ZFS Admin Guide). I'm also not sure if I have RAID5 support in the BIOS. I think it's just RAID0/1. Oh, how I long for full boot support in ZFS...
