Re: [Xen-users] Setting up XEN domU causes RAID5 to fail?

["Marc Tousignant" <myrdhn@xxxxxxxxx>]

RAID1+0 is also a no go due to loss of space, and uselessness. If you want
speed and redundancy and have the drives for RAID1+0, just go with RAID6
I'd lose too much space with RAID6, I have plans for all ~1.8TB, the loss of
~500GB would be too much of a hit.

I do have a second machine running XEN with software RAID1 and hardware
RAID5 without issues. The drives in this config are both physical and file
based. No issues and I have been running for over 2 years moving from 3 all
the way to 4 without incident.

Have you tried doing this with RAID 6 or RAID 10 instead?
