                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi,

I'm attempting to create a three RAID5 volumes on a set of 4, 3TB drives in a Thunderbay enclosure. After initiating the process, nothing seemed to be happening, so I re-selected the target disks, and tried again to create a 3TB RAID 5 volume. Attempting to quit SoftRAID also failed, but then I noticed that the I/O request count on one of the drives is steadily clicking up. Is this normal? Is there a way to find out what the application is doing (nothing in the console log, no)?

Any insight appreciated! Thanks,
