I have been running gvinum RAID-5 on a ProLiant machine for 6 months now and I hadn't had any problems so far. First I installed FreeBSD 5.4 at that time but the RAID array crashed when there was an unclean reboot. After that I installed FreeBSD 6.1 and for now (knock knock knock) everything looks to work fine. However, I hadn't had a disk crash yet so I can't tell what exactly happens when one of the disks dies. I also run Samba and NOD32fac viruschecking on the same server and it works just great.
