Solaris DiskSuite almost extends RAID 5 configruations. You can add disks to a RAID 5 set, but the extra disks will only hold data, no parity. I think that it is a strange mix of RAID 5 and concatenation. All data is still parity protected. It might not be as fast as a true RAID 5, but it can be very usful.
