Duncan, As a silent reader of this list (for almost a year)... As an anonymous supporter of the BAARF (Battle Against Any RAID Four/Five/Six/ Z etc...) initiative...
I can only break my silence and applaud your frequent interventions referring to N-Way mirroring (searching the list for the string "n-way" brings up almost exclusively your posts, at least in recent times). Because that's what I' m also eager to see implemented in BTRFS and somehow felt disappointed that it wasn't given priority over the parity solutions... I currently use ZFS on Linux in a 4-disk RAID10 (performing pretty good by the way) being stuck with the 3.11 kernel because of DKMS issues and not being able to share by SMB or NFS because of some bugs. I'm really looking forward to the day that typing: mkfs.btrfs -d raid10 -m raid10 /dev/sd[abcd] will do exactly what is expected to do. A true RAID10 resilient in 2 disks' failure. Simple and beautiful. We're almost there...
