Subject: Questions about: Where to find algorithms for RAID5 / RAID6
Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 02:50:59 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <443B6DF3.2060500@harddata.com> (raw)
Good day.
I am looking for some information, and hope the readers of this list
might be able to point me in the right direction:
Here is the scenario:
In RAID5 ( or RAID6) when a file is written, some parity data is
created, (by some form of XOR process, I assume), then that parity data
is written to disk.
I am looking to find the algorithm that is used to create that parity
data and to decides where to place it on the disks.
Any help on this is deeply appreciated.
