Umm, no with raid 5, you lose a drive not the data. add a new drive
"rebuild" the set and continue as normal...
I have three 500GB drives in a raid-5 set. The server is a myth back-end
and a file server (and mysql server) also so I care about the data.
Frankly I don't care that much about the TV recordings (though I am
happy about the side affect of uptime the raid set gives) but having
down time would cause problems with WAF!
For a file system I have just used plain old ext3.
