Hi,

I believe this has been discussed before, but I would like to bring it up
again.

I would like to see mdadm recommend RAID6 over RAID6 when using component
drives that are 500GB or larger and ask if the user is really sure about
using RAID5, plus a pointer to a webpage on the wiki informing the user
about the trouble with RAID5 on large volumes with consumer or prosumer
drives.

I am willing to contribute text to the webpage being pointed to.

Hello,

May I suggest that aswell for arrays with more than 5 drives aswell ?
