Hello,

I am doing tests on lsm running on Tru64 UNIX V5.1A.
Configuring mirrored, striped volumes is no problem.
Now, I want to configure a Raid5 volume.
I am attempting to do this on 3 partitions : dsk0f, dsk1f and dsk2f.
I get error messages
using volassist :
        lsm:volassist: ERROR: Cannot allocate space for 2097152 block volume

using volmake :
        lsm:volmake: ERROR: Subdisk data_raid02-01 not in configuration
        lsm:volmake: ERROR: Subdisk data_raid01-01 not in configuration
        lsm:volmake: ERROR: Subdisk data_raid00-01 not in configuration
dxslm and lsmsa refuse too !

Is it possible to use 3 partitions rather than entire disk ?
Is "3" enough ?
What are the restrictions ? What is the trick ?

Regards
