    Yeah it’s included in kernel 6.7. Still probably too new to really use as they are still working on certain features like erasure code/parity.

    Without another drive it can’t rebuild data, so all it can do is detect corruption not correct it.

      Yeah, that is still too unsable in real world scenarios.

      Still, it’s great that people are doing this from scratch, not just build on what Oracle throws at us. I do wish they address the RAID5/6 issue properly, not just throw it under the carpet like BTRFS. I did hear that they are working on fixing RAID5/6 in BTRFS, but I haven’t looked at how far things are. I still use it with mdadm in the background for the array.
