Title: Strange problem: Difficul to create RAID-5 with 4 disks

Hi all,

I don’t know if I'm the first one to experience (I this but it seems a little strange.
I can create a 3 disk RAID5 array and I can create a 4 disk RAID6 array with no problem.

I cannot -however- create a 4 disk RAID5 array no matter what I do!.
Does it have to do anything with the constraints I see under "Create raid array" ?  (or their validity checking?)

Furthermore, if I decide to create a 3 disk RAID5 and expand it later on, it never lets me select any members from the "Add Members" Option (it shows as empty, even though my 4th disk is of type Linux Raid member and appears in the RAID selector window when I initially go to configure the array.)

Seemed a little odd to me and had to share it.
I am running Openfiler 2.0 beta1 with all updates installed ( yum install was run prior to starting the array)

Thanks,

Ted Tsoukas
