<pre><br>I think an automated partitioning scheme resembling something like this:<br>1 hdd - single drive install<br>2 hdds - raid 1<br>3 hdds - raid 5<br>4 hdds - raid 6<br>5 hdds - raid 6 + hot spare (or let the 5th hdd be a raid6 member - give the admin a choice)<br>...<br>would be something to aim for.<br>Raid6 with one bad hdd is no performance problem, with two bad hdds and no hot spare things get really slow.
