I also agree that "redundancy per block" is probably a much better idea than "redundancy per disk". Probably needs a "how hot are you?" primitive, though! The read patch I posted should get you over glitches from sporadic read errors that would otherwise fault the disk, but one wants to add accunting for such things and watch them.
