Not recommending at this point, just saying these are options... Btrfs raid56 mode should, I believe, be pretty close to done with the latest patches. That would be 3.19, however, which isn't out yet of course. There's also raid10, if you have enough devices or little enough data to do it. That's much more mature than raid56 mode and should be about as mature and stable as btrfs in single-device mode, which is what you are using now. But it'll require more devices than a raid56 would... -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
