Nonetheless, it's performance is quite bad with RAID6 (RAID10 as well).
 If you're happy with EXT4 on the P400 based RAID6, you'll be even much
happier with 3-4x more performance using md for the RAID6.  If it was
worth your time to test the XFS concat I would think this test would be
even more so, as it appears you'll be sticking with EXT4.
