Also, maybe this should be on an FAQ/RAID tutorial somewhere?
Question is, where should it be put so that people read it and actually
understand it.
This article is from 2007:
<http://www.zdnet.com/blog/storage/why-raid-5-stops-working-in-2009/162>
I've had people argue with me that the above article is wrong, but I never
udnerstood their logic. To me it makes perfect sense and I always go
RAID6.
I also think the work having more than 2 parity drives was very promising.
I'd rather have a 20 drive volume with 4 parity drives than to LVM
together two 10 drive RAID6:es (apart from obvious performance penalties).
