If yoy partition the 750GB disks as 500+250 and the 1TB disk as 500+250+250 you could, for example, create one 6x500GB RAID6 array and one 3x250GB RAID5 and have 250GB non-raid space, or one 6x500GB RAID6 and two 2x250GB RAID1's. -- Tapani Tarvainen -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
