    Hello,

    (I've posted some messages about this to linux-raid, but haven't
    gotten much of a response; this time I'm cc'ing to linux-kernel)

    I am seeing reproducible corruption with software RAID-6 on an array
    that has been created with missing disks. The attached script
    demonstrates this easily through loopback devices, but I see the
    problem just the same on real drives.

    I do not see the problem with full RAID-6 arrays (no missing disks),
    nor do I see it on RAID-5 arrays on the same system. I haven't seen
    the corruption when writing directly to the md device, but I haven't
    tested that very much.

    Tested on 2.6.6, 2.6.7, 2.6.8-rc2, with mdadm 1.5.0 and 1.6.0.
    See attached.
