We're wondering if it's possible to run the following --

* the OS will see these are four normal drives
* use md to configure them into a RAID 6 array
Would this work? Would it be better than RAID 15? We're looking for a
very high redundancy system.
This is on a Debian system running the 2.6 kernel. We're contemplating
running EVMS on top.
I happen to agree with the person that said (something like ,
"keep as few software layers between you & the devices ."
That said why do a raid1 into a raid6 ?
Why not a 2 raid6 arrays raid1'd ?
A thought . Hth , JimL
