My "forever and a day" RAID6 build/rebuild comment may have been taken
out of context. The original post was inquiring about running a qty 6
SATA disk md RAID6 array on a standard 132 MB/s PCI bus, using three 2
port PCI SATA cards on the single PCI bus. My comments were focused on
the PCI bottleneck in such a setup causing dreadful array performance.
