Cool. I set up that RAID system a few years ago, but I haven't been
paying attention to new developments in the Linux RAID tools (since
what I had worked so well).
Now if only I could have a setup that would provide a comparable blend
of capacity and redundancy to RAID-5, without requiring all the disks
to be the same size. Do you know of a way to do THAT?
