Hi, I've partitioned 5 drives to create a RAID6. I have a few questions: 1) Is there a 'pretend' option for create? Something that would say all the things it intended to do but then do nothing? 2) For the uninitiated, what should I be considering about chunk size? The machine is a home server. It runs a bunch of VMWare and Virtualbox VMs. The VM's typically result in a few large files. (2GB or larger) Is the 512K default reasonable for this work model?
