Say you've got a four-drive raid-6, it'll be something like |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
data1 data2 parity1 parity2 |
| 11 |
data3 parity3 parity4 data4 |
| 12 |
parity5 parity6 data5 data6 |
| 13 |

The only thing to watch out for (and zfs is likely the same) if a file |
| 15 |
fits inside a single chunk it will be recoverable from a single drive. |
| 16 |
And I think chunks can be anything up to 64MB. |
