Hello,

Does a high speed NVRAM device makes sense for Linux SW RAID? E.g. a PCI 
card that exports battery backed memory.
Could that significantly improve write speed for RAID 5/6 (e.g. via an 
external journal, asynchronous operation and write caching)?

What changes would be required?

Thanks,
Mirko
