disk.
    All the partiotions are of the same size on all the disks.Iam NOT using
the
    the partitions a,b c, d, e. Only f,g and h are used.

   I would like to know the following:
   =========================
  The disc box(3 disks inside) is connected with a SCSI controller to the
computer. Is it possible to make
  an LSM+Raid 5 with the above disk configuration?? Iam new to LSM.What
commands
  I have to execute in which order? I could not see anything regarding
  this type of raid configuration in the mailing list.
 

  
  Thanks in advance and with regards,
   Kumar
