Hi Raz,

Can you explain a bit more about why the raid4 approach is
undesirable?  I think making reshape only available to raid0 arrays
where all the members are the same size is a reasonable constraint.
We then get the nice benefit of reusing the raid5 reshape
infrastructure.  In other words I am not convinced that the benefits
of reimplementing reshape in raid0 outweigh the costs.

Thanks,
Dan
