Apologies in advance for asking such basic questions. Is it possible to use logical partitions on SCSI hard drives to make a RAID-5 array? Can the partion type still be set to 0xfd if its a logical rather than a primary partition? Or will I be better off to construct the RAID array from primary partitions? (And lastly, just to satisfy my curiosity, is it permissible to mix primay and logical partions an any level of RAID?)
