It would be nice if graid got full support for RAID5 alteast I'm not sure how much the others are used for that are not fully supported (RAID4, RAID5, RAID5E, RAID5EE, RAID5R, RAID6, RAIDMDF) according to the man page. I started to hack in RAID5 full support and try to avoid writes if members didn't change. This limits our VROC support. Thanks, Doug A.
