Hello.

I was looking at the PDFs linked to from the wiki, and found this:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hpa/raid6.pdf

More specifically, section 4, starting on page 8.

Am I understanding this correctly, in that with raid6, linux is capable
of detecting if the content on 1 disk is corrupted, and reconstruct it
from the remaining disks?


mvh.
