Checksum capabilities with btrfs on top of mdraid?
As I understand, readynas OS6 implements btrfs on top of an mdraid volume because native raid-support in btrfs is still a bit experimental (introduced 2013). How does this affect the checksum capabili...
So why exactly do you want to convert your everyday file system to a mode that is experimental and unstable?

I get the self-healing idea, and see value in integrating raid-type modes into the file system itself. But I don't get why you'd switch to this now, with all the warnings that it isn't ready for prime time yet.
