Hello: I have to bundle 4 disks as a Raid5 device, export it to iSCSI initiators and format it as NTFS. What is better: - Format individual disks as NTFS and then bundle them as Raid5 device and export to initiator PCs - Or bundle the disks first as Raid5 dev, export them and then format the /dev/md0 device as NTFS I get "write-protected" errors when I do the second option. Does it mean formatting of raid5 device is not allowed? Does Raid5 inherit the NTFS properties of individual disks (first option)?
