This could be done with a copy-on-write filesystem that knows about the
raid5 geometry, and only ever writes to a stripe when no other blocks
on the stripe contain live data.
I've been working on a filesystem which does just this, and hope to
have it available in a year or two (it is a back-ground 'hobby'
project).
why are you waiting so long? why not just release the project plan, and
any pre-pre-alpha code? that's the point of the cathedral and the
bazaar. may be others can help, find bugs, write code, etc..
