How to build virtual raid5 with ufs explorer

[vserg]

Hello,

 

I am trying to build a virtual raid5 with 4 hard drives from my old terastation that died.  R.I.P.   :(

 

When I connect all 4 drives to my pc, they each have about 4 seperate partitions.  So that adds up to 16 different partitions.

 

Which partitions do I need to choose to build the virtual raid5 ? And what order should they be in?

 

I opend a case with buffalo about this issue and they sent me this info which might help:

 

The RAID5-capable units all use similar RAID5 methods. The following has been confirmed for Linkstation Quad:

The starting sector of the raid array:

root@linuxmachine# fdisk -l

Device    Boot Start     End       Blocks    Id System

/dev/sda1      63                    771119          385528+         83 Linux

/dev/sda2      771120          1044224         136552+        82 Linux swap

/dev/sda3      1044225       312223276    155589526     83 Linux

/dev/sda4      312223277   312576704   176714           83 Linux

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I am  confused because all 4 hard drives have the first partition that begins with "63" start sector.

 

Any help from people who have done this successfully would be grately appreciated.  Thank you!
