Now, this is interesting. Initiating a raid-5 will create parity blocks (and perhaps data blocks) for the other drives, growing it will recreate parity for them all, which is normal. now, creating an empty raid-6 takes merely second, on the same (virtual) drive size (only more drives). What does the raid-6 code do that the raid-5 code could (or should?) have done?
Vennlige hilsener / Best regards

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.
