RAID storage is a pain!

[camidon]

I have a client that believes they are running hardware RAID level 5. They have three nine gig disks. The problem with this is that they are only seeing a total of 9 gigs when my experience is that they should be seeing 18 gigs. Why would they only be seeing 9 gigs?

If I need to make a change to this configuration, will that require a reinstall?

What does the Raid config manager have to say about thing?

Where is the RAID config manager?

Do you know if this is hardware level raid or software if its hardware It depends if they installed the software manager or not But usually on bootup you will see a message ctrl-enter for scsi setup or thereabouts go into that and there will usually be info on the current Raid container config
