We are working closely with Heinz Mauelshagen of RedHat on RAID5
support. Heinz is working hard to get a RAID5 target ready for testing.
We don't know the exact schedule yet, but do hope to have something
reasonably stable within a couple months. Sorry our efforts won't help
with your immediate needs. Please stay tuned...
