RAID 1E analysis delayed
If you want some unusual RAID layouts, call Promise. So far, Promise controller has the most bizzare RAID 6 variation we've seen, and also gave us a nasty surprise with RAID 1E.
Typically, RAID 1E would be laid out as follows
1 1 2
2 3 3
4 4 5
5 6 6
(the above is so-called NEAR layout)
or
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
3 1 2
6 4 5
9 7 8
(the above is FAR layout).
Now Promise combines the best of both worlds to produce a third variation (Promise 1E layout)
1 2 3
3 1 2
4 5 6
6 4 5
Looks promising, doesn't it?
So, the implementation of RAID 1E recovery capability in ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery (www.FreeRaidRecovery.com) is delayed until we figure out how to handle this one.
