Oh, you're probably complaining about that write number.

I wasn't complaining.  You know me better than that.

The cops caught me robbing a bank.  Under pressure, I pointed at you and
said "He gave me the gun and ammo!". ;)  Of course it was completely my
responsibility for shooting myself in the foot with it. :)

Either way, the point I was making in the original post stands -
RAID6 sucks balls for most workloads as they only do small writes in
comparison to the stripe width of the volume....

Agreed.  Which was the point I originally made in this thread.  "We"
simply got a minor detail wrong.  It seems folks on the linux-raid list
like to split every hair 2^6 times, with extremely valid points getting
lost when the discussion drops into the weeds.

Sorry I dragged you into this Dave.
