It is not recommended to make a RAID 5 partition of this size...unless you do not care about the data or may loose the data and do not care. Upon the loss of a disk in this system, it is likely you would encounter another unrecoverable error which would prevent the RAID from rebuilding correctly. You might want to do a search for problems with RAID 5 and array of this size. If I recall correctly, you may not even want a RAID 6 for such a device.
