Hi, could you elaborate on the stability and performance problems you had? Which kernels were you using at the time you were testing? I'm interested because I have some RAID10 installations of 7 disks which don't need much write performance (large backup servers with few clients and few updates but very large datasets) that I plan to migrate to RAID6 when they approach their storage capacity (at least theoretically with 7 disks this will give better read performance and better protection against disk failures). 3.19 brought full RAID5/6 support and from what I remember there were some initial quirks but I'm unaware of any big RAID5/6 problem in 4.1+ kernels.
