The raid5 changes reflected at that url are mostly 'bitmap write-intent log' which optionally accelerates resync speed at a small cost of write speed. > would be sure : > - Is it really reliable ?

It will not be submitted to -mm until it implements crash recovery and has been tested for multiple growth and other scenarios. It will not go to -linus until it has been tested quite thoroughly (preferably by more than just me) and I would feel comfortable using it on my data.
