Hi,
I've found out that gvinum won't let you grow a RAID 5 system without
obliterating it first. Something that I haven't been able to
ascertain is if gvinum will let you add discs to a RAID 5 array later
on as hot spares?
Many thanks for so much help

Is it possible to use gvinum to create a striped array that contains the
root partition? I want to be able to combine all 4 of the hard disks into
one logical striped array and install the boot partition on it. I have
found documentation on how to mirror the root drive, but none on using a

Is it possible to use gmirror for a small partition on two disks and then
use gstripe on the remaining disk space of those drives to create a larger
stripe?
I didn't think that was possible. I could be wrong however :).
If that will work, that would be my best option right there.

However, if you've got a hardware RAID card, then you'll almost
certainly be better off using it for doing RAID5 than doing it in
software with gvinum. The RAID card will have hardware to do the
parity calculations needed for RAID5 and offloading
in a
software RAID with gvinum. However, I'm not sure what mode (if one
exists) that I could put a RAID card in to make the OS see single disks.
So I guess my point is, can I turn off RAID functionality on the card
and make the disks into single, separated disks available via the disk
controller
to the configure one's disks in
a software RAID with gvinum. However, I'm not sure what mode (if one
