Neil, Would you care to elaborate? I'm about to build a box with 6 x 250GB SATA disks and am currently designing the partitioning scheme. Could I potentially put in a small IDE disk onto which to install just enough system to boot and mount a RAID5 array built from the 6 whole disks? Presumably you then partition the RAID array, create the filesystems and mount the partitions as you would a single disk?
