I am running solaris 9. I have 6 x 18Gb disks that I want to configure as RAID 5.
I have created and initialized my disks named disk01 to disk06 and they are all in the rootdg disk group.
I ran the command
which gave me this output
I'm losing a third of my disk space here where I only expected a loss of 1/6th due to the parity checking.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
