Would it make sense to generalize and introduce a "write quorum" for
arrays with more than 2 mirrors - ie, must be committed to at least n
disks?
This would also apply to RAID6, actually. One could say that it needs to
be committed to N-1 disks; as RAID6 could cope with N-2 failures,
redundancy would still be preserved.
