It would be possible, excluding performances, to build an user-space RAID system? I mean, something like fuse does, with a user space daemon to perform the math, especially for RAID-6, and the rest, together with a small kernel module. Or there are technical limitations which make this approach impossible with the current architecture? Just curious, bye, -- piergiorgio
