I tried to create a raid6 with one missing member, but it fails.
It works fine to create a raid6 with two missing members. Is it supposed
to be like that ?
mdadm -C /dev/md0 -n5 -l6 -c256 /dev/sd[bcde]1 missing
raid5: failed to run raid set md0
mdadm: RUN_ARRAY failed: Input/output error
mdadm: stopped /dev/md0
