Seriously consider using Raid 6. If you use Raid 5 then the probability of an unrecoverable read error (URE) occurring while rebuilding the 4TB of data is IMO a little too high. With Raid 6 it would require 2 URE's that happen to be located in the same raid segment on both disks - the odds of that are extremely low. my 2c,- tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
