The patch I sent is not related to SnapRAID. It's the same raid engine, but this is not going to change how mdadm RAID is working. When and if this patch will be accepted in the Linux kernel, you can expect to have mdadm to support triple/quad/and more parity just like RAID5 and RAID6 are supported today. But at now there is no new functionality to try. We still miss the required changes inside mdadm, that likely will happen in a second time.
