As a tie in to the Linux RAID list, we use md raid for our OS drives

striping over our hardware accelerated RAIDs.  We would like to use
non-power of two chunk sizes, but haven't delved into the code as much
as we'd like to see if we can make this work.


md/raid0 (striping) currently supports non-power-of-two chunk sizes, though
it is a relatively recent addition.
(raid4/5/6 doesn't).

Cool!  We need to start playing with this ...

Which kernels have the support?
