I’ve always wondered, given the warnings in documentation, if there are any people brave enough to try Btrfs in a RAID5/6 configuration. Has anyone here actually tried it with “real” data?

    Given how flexible RAID1 in btrfs is, I don’t really see any benefit in using RAID5/6.

    Fragile. Works great when its working. When thjngs go wrong it’s difficult to see how anything can be salvaged.
