Is there any case where RAID10 wouldn't provide better redundancy? (Justification: if RAID6 = RAID5 + extra parity layer, why not have RAID5[n] = RAID5 + n*parity layers over N+n disks? The limit of this as n->N is a RAID10 array. Seems like RAID10 is the way to go, unless you want to lose more than half of your space to parity) Ross Vandegrift ross@willow.seitz.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
