Hi Paul!

I was under the impression that I can't boot off raid-5, but if that information is dated then all the better.
Thanks again.
Afaik, that´s still true. The reason is that the two (or more) drives of a raid 1 essentially hold the same data, and if you do everything right, the complete boot mechanism is on all disks, so that you can boot with any of them. On raid 5 disks, you would never have the complete data on any of the disks.
If you can load an initrd, you can boot off of anything.
The question then becomes whether or not you can load the initrd :) Sometimes even in RAID5 situations you can...
