Do you know how to do RAID5 ? I read in http://www.essenz.com/support/lists/hackers/20040118/69.html about geom_raid, but it seems to be lost after that. The other alternative may be to setup a RAID1+0, but that shrinks my usable space, and I'm not sure how reliable/advisable it is to do in software. Thanks again, Beto
