Hello,
I have 3 same (empty) HDDs and I would like to install the ZFS software RAID5 on it.
Is it possible create RAID5 during the setup a install BSD to it?
How should I create swap partitions on my HDD?
I think it is better to have the swap partition out of the SW raid(or not?) because of performance. But if I create the swap for example on first drive, its free space won't be equal to free spaces on other drives so I think that RAID5 won't work...or maybe yes? Or is it better to create the same sized swap partition on each drive and create RAID5 on the rest same sized free disk spaces?
Thanks a lot for the replies
