A rather specific question, I know. But I'm intrigued by some of the
things I've read about what RAID-6 offers. On the other hand, given
the version of mdadm and the Linux kernel I'm running, I'm wondering
which would be more stable and/or give better performance.
I'm running both RAID-5 and RAID-6 on 2.6.11.7 and they work a treat.
RAID-6 saved me from a dual drive failure a little while back, where a 2nd drive developed (or
noticed) grown defects during the rebuild of the first failed drive (it takes about 15 hours to
rebuild this RAID-6)
