Yes, that's why I said "On a completely side note..." ;-)

I was more pointing to the decision of setting up a RAID 5 instead RAID 1 
for holding the OS. Yes, I know there are 3 hard disks in place but a 
RAID 5 array can take more time to rebuild the 1.2 TiB volume and the 
chance for a second drive to go off when rebuilding process is active 
increases.

IIRC (I've been out for 3 days) the user asked two different questions at 
the Spanish mailing list. I replied to the first one that was about the 
installer not recognizing the hard disks which was already solved. After 
that, another problem (this) arised.
