Because RAID provides an abstraction layer over the real storage 
hardware, your setup for it shouldn't necessarily change your Koha 
installation procedure or vice versa. Any instructions that work for 
RAID setup on your hardware should be fine. Basically, you make RAID 
work and Debian happy on it, then install Koha normally.

Keep in mind that RAID 5 isn't great for data that changes frequently in 
small increments, such as a Koha system or other transaction intensive 
database. You may see lower performance speed overall compared to other 
options like simple mirroring (RAID 1).
