Andrea, As others have said it looks interesting. Thanks for the efforts. Question: As an end-user type who currently uses mdadm RAID6, if I wanted to set up a dedicated machine to do some SnapRAID testing then what's the minimum disk hardware I'd need assuming Linux is just on it's own disk? 1) 1 drive for Linux 2) 4 (or possibly 3) drives for a SnapRAID RAID6 device? 3) 3 drives for a SnapRAID RAID5 device? (If RAID5 can even use SnapRAID. Not sure it can) Are there any known issues using both mdadm and SnapRAID devices in the same system? Again, I don't care if there are and the machine dies a brutal death (which I doubt from your announcement) but just asking.
