RAID-[56]?

RAID-[56]?

[Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk]

Hi all

I've heard raid-[56] is on its way somehow, and may be added to the next (or the one after (or perhaps a bit later)) kernel. While this is good, I want to ask if I can check out this source tree for testing (typically in a VM). More testing usually means more bugs found etc…

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med xenotyp etymologi. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.

Yes, but releasing code before it's somewhat polished just generates a
mountain of bug reports.

Back in 2010 when I set up a server at work I was eagerly awaiting the
RAID5 implementation that was just a couple of months away.

Don't worry it does appear to be coming, as a couple of months has
shortened over 2 years to be "end of this week" just before Christmas.


PS: This email is intended to be helpful, and while slightly snarky I am
very grateful for the work that has been done and I eagerly await the
RAID56 features.
