Oh, I see. Thanks all for replies. I guess I'll just take two 250GB disks out of RAID5 and create a mirror out of them for system disk which means we're going to lose ~250GB of starage capacity :/
This is what I always do for a server. RAID-5 is not a good volume for swap, /tmp or /var. I typically create a "system" RAID-1 (or RAID-10) volume, and then a "data" RAID-5 volume.
