I found the link which could be relevant and give further information to |

Google around: |

The chief problem (at least in my case) was (taken from above link) is |
| 16 |
that 2.6.16 introduces "the problem to this patch that limits dm-stripe |

to targets that are multiples of the chunk size". Depending on your RAID |
| 18 |
configuration, NVRAID could make use of dm-stripe, and thus you'll run |
| 19 |
into issues. |
