In today's issue of raid-fun: given proper paramters to xfs on top of a
linux md raid6 left-asymmetric layout, a mountable, though incorrect xfs
image will result when doing a mdadm --create --force -l 6 -p left-
symmetric layout. The kernel claims this to be corruption of in-memory
data.
I beg to differ, at least on the point of which memory the corruption
resides. :)
