Re: [PATCH 1/2] btrfs-progs: mkfs: Warn user for minimal RAID5/6 devices setup

Is it worthwhile adding a note that RAID5 / RAID6 may very well eat your data at this stage? On 02/09/16 11:41, Qu Wenruo wrote: > For RAID5, 2 devices setup is just RAID1 with more overhead. > For RAID6, 3 devices setup is RAID1 with 3 copies, not what most user > want. > > So warn user at mkfs

[PATCH 1/2] btrfs-progs: mkfs: Warn user for minimal RAID5/6 devices setup

For RAID5, 2 devices setup is just RAID1 with more overhead. For RAID6, 3 devices setup is RAID1 with 3 copies, not what most user want. So warn user at mkfs time for such case, and add explain in man pages. Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo ---
