I have the following hardware:
4TB drive x 3
2TB drive x 2
I'd like to combine the two 2TB drives into a single RAID 0 volume, and then use this as a component with the other 3 4TB volumes to get a total of 12TB of RAID 5.
I creased a 4TB RAID 0 volume from my two smaller drives in SoftRAID. But, when I go to create the RAID5 volume, I don't see the option to include this as one of my components.
Is this feature possible using SoftRAID? Or, is there some other procedure with SoftRAID that I could follow to enable me to get 12TB of RAID 5 given these disks?
Thanks

We do not support layering RAID volumes like this. A SoftRAID volume is comprised of identical sized partitions on different disks. Better is to get a 4th 4TB drive.
