I did a very small start on RAID1C last year but don't have the diff handy right now. It was very small anyway, I hadn't gotten anywhere beyond very basic changes. My goal back then was to have RAID1C be a proper discipline but implemented mostly as glue code which calls into functions written for the CRYPTO and RAID1 disciplines. But such functions could also be copied over to a RAID1C discipline and modified until things work; and maybe refactored back later. Let me know when you get started with this. I'd be interested in working on RAID1C, but not all by myself. I could make use of RAID1C on my storage box.
