Hi all, I have a box with 4 x 120 GB EIDE drives which I want to convert to FreeBSD 5.4 ( it's an old SNAP 4500 from Snap Appliance, now owned by Adaptec, running a custom build of Linux) I want to setup software Raid 5 , and I want it to affect ALL partitions, including / (so if any one of the drives fails, it will still boot up properly). I am planning on using GEOM, but open to suggestions. I've been searching and cant find any pointers on how to set this up properly. I've been reading http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/ , but this is works for RAID 1. Could anyone offer any insights / ideas / pointers (or step by step if you so feel inclined to :-) ) on how to set this up? Thanks in advance, Beto
