After pressing <Enter>, StorCon displays a list of possible RAID levels. See Figure 60. Then
StorCon prompts you for the stripe size. This is the size of the stripes into which the data is
divided. Valid values are 16KB, 32KB, 64KB or 128KB. The default is 128KB. See Figure 61.

The Build Type decides how the redundancy information is created. The Destructive Build (only
available if StorCon was loaded with <Ctrl> + <G>) fills all hard drives with “0” and no further
parity calculation is necessary. This build method is pretty fast, but the build must be successfully
finished before you can leave StorCon (otherwise the build mode is automatically changed to
Non-destructive during the next boot). The Non-destructive build calculates the redundancy
information from the contents of the data stripes. It takes longer, but can run in the background, for
example, during the installation of the operating system. See Figure 62.

A warning displays that all data will be destroyed after confirmation. (Figure 63). Confirm the
