Find below simple steps to create RAID 5 in RHEL

* Use "fdisk /dev/sd*" command to create 3/4(whatever yo need) different partitions.(where sd* means sda,sdb etc etc..)
In my case, the command will be fdisk /dev/sda


* Make label "fd" on both.Then, Write Changes to disk & exit.
* use "partprobe" command

Now, to create RAID 5,

mdadm -C /dev/md0 -a yes -l 5 -n 4 /dev/sda{2,3,4,5}        ( -l means RAID Level, -n means number of physical drives)


mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0 (to make file system)

mdadm --detail /dev/md0   (To check whether RAID has created or not)

Create a directory,i.e. "data1" & mount /dev/md0 on it.

Commnd is "mount /dev/md0 /data"

Finally, mount RAID drives permanently during Linux Reboot,
/etc/fstab, make following entry.

/dev/md0     /data    ext3    defaults    0   0


That's it.
