Of course, all this will end up on the wiki :-)

Thanks!

I've now written a nice pile of bumf about all the raid levels that
tries to explain everything in simple language.

https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/A_guide_to_mdadm#Array_internals_and_how_it_affects_mdadm

I'm sure experts will be able to poke some holes in - let me know if
there are any mistakes and I'll correct them - but I've tried to make it
easily understandable for noobs.

Cheers,
