Your messages are spread across the thread. :-)
RAID 5 cannot repair the data. I don't know much about RAID 6, but I
expect it cannot necessarily repair the data either. It still doesn't
know which drive is wrong. In any case, there is no implementation I am
aware of that performs mandatory consistency checks on read. This would
be silliness.
