It is *possible* to do it, but, as of today, it cannot do it. I mean, there is no functionality, in the RAID-6, to detect and correct those errors using the available double parity. Consider that the RAID check returns only how many mismatch are present, not where they are, i.e. on which disks. bye, -- piergiorgio -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
