I’ve always wondered, given the warnings in documentation, if there are any people brave enough to try Btrfs in a RAID5/6 configuration. Has anyone here actually tried it with “real” data?

There are some folks over on aliensite that have been using RAID-5 and -6 for a while. Personally I’ve never tried it, because my use case needs the data redundancy more than the disk space.
As far as I know, as long as you’re not worried about either your data or a sudden power failure, they’re pretty solid. It’s a sudden system outage that is the danger.
