I might have misinterpreted your question earlier as "creating multiple partitions within a single RAID5 array", which is why I suggested LVM. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be possible to create multiple partitions /of/ RAID5, that might look something like this, for example (ignoring the grub/lilo boot problem for a moment): sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 sdc: sdc1 sdc2 sdc3 RAID5 (1): sda1 sdb1 sdc1 RAID5 (2): sda2 sdb2 sdc2 RAID5 (3): sda3 sdb3 sdc3 I've done similar with RAID1 in the past. It seems very messy to me now, and I much prefer to just have the one partition and put LVM over the whole lot. > And crypt? Don't know an awful lot about crypt, sorry. But from what I remember, it integrates with LVM very well.
