6 drives, 2x3tb 4x2tb, 3tb show as 2tb WTF
Hey All. Okay, just set this thing up, updated the firmware, etc. Disks are: 3tb 3tb 2tb 2tb 2tb 2tb It is set up as Raid Level X-Raid2 6 disks. But for some reason the volumes of ...
2x3tb + 4x2tb was zeeboid's setup, not kevikev's. Kevikev was asking generally about drawbacks of mixed size arrays, he didn't specify any specific config.

In principle you can get dual redundancy with 3 drives (simply by extending RAID-1 to a triple mirror). It would not be normal RAID-6, but it would be dual redundancy. However, my understanding is similar to mdgm's. While it may be theoretically possible, XRAID-2 won't do it.
