I've been asked to install CentOS on a machine with 4 hard disks, they
want RAID 5 on it. 3 disks plus the hot spare. My understanding is that
you cannot boot from disks that are in the RAID array but would need
it's own disk?

I'm asking here because I know many of you are using CentOS. Any tried
booting from a USB pendrive in lieu of a boot disk? How about swap, that
cannot be on a RAID partition either, right?

Appreciate follow-ups in private so not to disrupt the list too much :)

Regards
Nigel
