Philippe Bad form I know replying twice but I missed the other question you asked. The Linux RAID partitions were created through the YaST2 partitioning GUI, (create -> select disk then choose create unformatted partition and select Linux RAID from the drop down menu).

Hi, I've been spending the afternoon upgrading my home server and I'm having an issue with creating a RAID5 array to hold the data. Note that the OS is running on another disk and is not included on the RAID5 array and that I am using Software Raid under 10.3.

To go into the RAID5 array I have six 500GB disks. Each of these has a single Linux Raid unformatted primary partition Linux Raid partition ? How did you create those ?

I was expecting to have an array size ~3TB with ~2.5TB usable. Hi, with RAID5 only half of that would be usable, right ?

Kind regards Philippe
