I am going to build home server, mainly for backups. I want to put there some system on USB flash disk (a little space), and attach some hard disks for data (much more space needed). Because it is going to be backup, disks will run only once a day. So...

I currently have a 500GB x5 RAID-5 array in Fedora Linux using mdadm. One of the disks went bad and I'm going to move all the disks and data to a new array. However can I reduce the size of the array in the mean time down to 4 disks to prevent the unthinkable...

As womble said, you can't drop a disk and shrink a RAID it for redundancy is that you can just slot out the faulty disk and slot in a new one? I don't think you have in the new device/disk.

Accessing a standard disk takes from disk.
With a process not bound by disk I/O roughly equivalent to getting data somewhere in the city you live in.

Check your drive with....
Use OmniDiskSweeper , JDisk Report , Disk Inventory X , DaisyDisk others, so try several.
Run Disk Utility and check size you deem appropriate.

I'm stuck here, a client has asked for 320GB of space but I only have 2x 100GB disks and a 50GB disk.

Use raid 1 (mirroring), 5 (striped journal (transaction log) on the other .
One disk failure and it's all gone.
For anything mildly important.

I wonder how or if any one tried to create a RAM DISK, and then put the 2GB (or sometimes 1.2GB) .vhd file into it, and then run the virtual PC using this image.
It should be running super fast, as the hard disk is now simulated by RAM... I never tried...

I suggest to run a health and error check on the hard disk drive, HD Tune is free caused your PC to restart but not your son's.
