I think you can still install RAID5 on 3 disks with the nospare option. Can anyone confirm this? I will test it tomorrow.

The SME TEchnical Manual, CH 5 says 3 disks gives 2 x RADI1 and 1 Hot Swap
http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Technical_Manual:Chapter5
 It's a bit confusing, since the page is listed as CH 5 but on the page it says Ch 8.

This is the automatic set up; it says nothing about how you alter this.

I think there was a change with SME 7.1.3 (or possibly 7.1.2) to the new defaults regarding RAID.

Does not work. How about installing with 4 drives and removing the spare after installation?
