Is there any progress in implementing a generic Reed-Solomon personality
in MD since this mail from 31 Jan 2004?
Regarding the intention-question... for me, personally, it would be the
logical step inbetween raid5 resp. raid6 with survival of 1 resp. 2
simultaneous disk failures and raid10 with survival of n/2 simultaneous
disk failures. RaidRS would give users the chance to configure
redundancy and thus survivability exactly on their demands.
This would especially make sense when I see the raid5 configurations
with 14 and more devices which some users refer to on this list.
To be honest, I was thinking about such a personality myself, too, and
then was crawling the list's archive.
regards
Mario
