The ideal case would be to have a RAID system where, while adding a disk, the user can decide if it (the disk) would be for data extension or for redundancy (parity) extension. This should be always possible and, in the first place, performance should not be the target. As mentioned before, par2 does it without too many issues, so I fail to see why three parities should be the limit. Actually, I'm trying to catch some RS expert in order to get an explanation (Q&A) on how the whole thing works. Unfortunately experts seem to be quite sluggish... :-) 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
