Thanks, but of course it isn't just me. RAID6 (i.e. double-parity raid) is a good case in point. That was developed and tested and pushed by Peter Anvin, not at all by me. I eventually merged his separate raid6main.c into raid5.c and then merged s= ome of the functions. So I did some "maintainer" stuff, but didn't do the development. It is likely that Triple Parity RAID will only happen if someone else steps up like Peter did, because I'm really not that intereste= d. So we don't need feature requests, we need code submissions.
