While the RAID6 algorithm could in theory support 3 devices by just copying the data disk to the two parity disks, this version is not only useless because it is a suboptimal version of 3-way mirroring, but also broken with various crashes and incorrect parity generation in various architecture-optimized implementations. Disallow it similar to mdraid which requires at least 4 devices for RAID 6. [...]
