Hi,
I have managed to scrounge an oldish sparc 20 with 6+ 2gb disks that I was
hoping to setup with 2.9 and then see if I could use Disksuite to combine
the rest of the 2gb disks into a raid 5 set. The idea is to eventually
transfer the knowledge to a SunFire V880 that has 6x72gb disks that would go
well as a raid5 set. By raid 5, I mean stripping and redundancy. The SunFire
has 12 slots at the moment (all internal), which have been populated with
6x36 and 6x72. So over the horizon, I'd be looking to pulling out some of
the 36gb disks and replacing them with 72gb disks with the idea of having
(a) hot swap spare 72gb disk, (b) standard disk size for all members of the
raid 5 set and (c) growing the raid 5 set.
