I would like to attend raid discussion, besides above topics I think we
can talk about improve the test suite of mdadm to make it more robust
(I can share related test suite which is used for clustered raid).

And I could share  the status of clustered raid about what we have done
and what we can do in the future. Finally, I'd like to know/discuss about
the roadmap of RAID.

Thanks a lot!
