As a tie in to the Linux RAID list, we use md raid for our OS drives
(SSD pairs), and other utility functions within the unit, as well as
striping over our hardware accelerated RAIDs.  We would like to use
non-power of two chunk sizes, but haven't delved into the code as much
as we'd like to see if we can make this work.

md/raid0 (striping) currently supports non-power-of-two chunk sizes, though
it is a relatively recent addition.
(raid4/5/6 doesn't).

Cool!  We need to start playing with this ...

Which kernels have the support?
