Can you please elaborate? I don't have exactly the same problem as
described by the link, but I'm still worried that particularly qemu can
be less resilient to partial raid1 failures even on newer kernels, due
to missing checksums for instance. (BTW I didn't find any xattrs on my
VM images, nor do I plan to set any.)
