Os on Raid5

I have set my raid up on Raid5 using a Raid car and installed my Linux operating system on the raid drives as was instructed but can I install my os on a separate smaller drive that's not in the raid then just raid the others it's tuc me 3years  to get this far and don't want to lose all I have worked to ?

I would recommend having the OS on a single smaller drive then Cloning that drive to a backup using a ZFS protocol or something similar. 

 

So yes. That is totally okay to put the OS on a smaller drive. :)

Also, you seem fairly new. So in case someone hasn't said this already, welcome to the forum. :D
