If I have LVM on top of RAID6, will mkfs.xfs read the mdadm config?
I believe the correct answer is that it should, but it depends on a few
things. Support for this may be new enough that some/many distros won't
do it out of the box. You may need to build some code yourself, linked
with the proper libraries. See the following list thread for
background, which is a year old, so you may want to ask this question
directly on the XFS list, or see the XFS FAQ:
