 Everybody knows that where would i find VERY useful document or HOWTO about
 raid5 in Debian?

 I had already known some URL as follow:

 http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Boot+Root+Raid+LILO-3.html
 http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue17/raid.html

You can not load your kernel from a RAID-5 array (none of the boot loaders 
support it).  So you need at least a RAID-1 /boot partition.

Most people who do software RAID use RAID-1 for their root file system too as 
it makes many problems easier to solve.

What specific questions do you have that aren't answered in those documents?

Do you want to do software RAID 5 or hardware RAID 5? that will make a
big difference in the necessary approach.

hi ya

apt-get install raidtools2

check /etc/raidtab  ( aka /etc/raid5.conf )
- make sure your dvices is defined properly

make sure your 2.4.x kernel has raid5 defined as modules or compiled in
- think the last time we did a min debian install
you will also need the xor package

make sure you have a  boot media in case raid fails

--- save your data to a different system before experimenting
and moving stuff to raid5

reboot... magic... it should all work the 1st time ...

if you need a list of raid commands...

have fun raiding
