5 data disks or 5 disks including parity (meaning 4 data disks)? Either way, that's well below our sweet spot of 14 9GB disks per raid group.
Wow, I'm discovering my psychic abilities. 14 is exactly the raid group I chose on our filers. Can you share some data on how NAC arrived at this number. In our case it just happened that we wanted to have two volumes as separate as we could make them and we happened to have 4 shelves in each filer.
