I don't think so, no. You can create your RAID with mdadm and put LVM on top of that. In general I strongly recommend against using RAID5. RAID1, 10, or 6 are all better options if your data's availability is important to you. -dsr- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
