really, just stop with the 4.20/5.0 thing. it's not a thing. it will NOT happen. It's a meme at this point.

Regardless if the next kernel is called 4.20 / 5.0 / IV.XX / V or whatever there is no arguing that MDRAID is amazing. I am arguing for that BTRFS is in fact quite usable if you know how it works, but for stuff I need to just work perfectly no matter what disaster comes along MDRAID6 is the way to go!

Is MD or MDRAID the same as MDADM?

Awesome and rock stable
