Subject: RAID5E
Date: Wed, 31 May 2006 09:47:30 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <447D9E72.3000704@tmr.com> (raw)

Where I was working most recently some systems were using RAID5E (RAID5 
with both the parity and hot spare distributed). This seems to be highly 
desirable for small arrays, where spreading head motion over one more 
drive will improve performance, and in all cases where a rebuild to the 
hot spare will avoid a bottleneck on a single drive.

Is there any plan to add this capability?
