This is purely a doc patch saying RAID-6 support is available in
mdadm-1.5.0 and the patch is no longer necessary.
RAID-5, RAID-6 distributes the syndromes across the drives
in one of the available parity distribution methods.
- RAID-6 currently requires a specially patched version of
- mdadm; the patch is available at:
-
- ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hpa/
-
- ... and the mdadm source code at ...
+ RAID-6 requires mdadm-1.5.0 or later, available at:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
this code as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called raid6.
-
If unsure, say N.
