This stored the system drive. The big partition on each drive was than grouped in to a RAID 6 array. I've not seen a linux distro that will boot from a software raid 5 or 6. | |

| Oct 19, 2012 at 8:56 | comment | added | Mad_piggy | I never had a raid-card that could handle raid 1 with more then 2 drives. so ... And what is wrong with my raid-6??? I was trieing to say that raid-5 has one drive for its parity, and raid-6 has 2 drives for parity. As wikipedia says: RAID 5: Block-level striping with distributed parity. RAID 6: Block-level striping with double distributed parity. | |
