Hi All, With FreeBSD 6 getting closer, I was curious about what was happening with raid 5 support on ata-raid. At present, raid 5 arrays are detected and can be used, though looking at the code, there is no support for parity. Hence running raid 5 is effectively running raid 0. If this is likely to be the case when 6 is shipped, there should at least be a warning regarding this at boot time.
