So... In very brief summary, btrfs raid5 is very much a work in progress. Question: Is the raid5 going to be seamlessly part of the error-correcting raids whereby raid5, raid6, raid-with-n-redundant-drives are all coded as one configurable raid? Also (second question): What happened to the raid naming scheme that better described the btrfs-style of raid by explicitly numbering the number of devices used for mirroring, striping, and error-correction?
