[Gluster-devel] Is it possible to setup a RAID 6 using GlusterFS?

[Xavier Hernandez]

For now there isn't any public site with more information. We will
publish it here when it will be available. 

There are still some things
to work out, but I'll be glad to answer any questions you may have.

to RAID 5; a redundancy of 2 is equivalent to RAID 6; and higher levels
