[sheepdog] sheepdog vs raid 5/6

[Vasiliy Tolstov]

Hi all. If i don't need cluster storage for vps now, but i want to
have hdd fail protection, what is the best to use for storage for vm?
I have 5 1Tb drives and can create raid 6 and use lvm for it, or
format each drive and use it in sheepdog (qemu connects to local
sheepdog daemon). in case of erasure coding - does it possible to lost
2 drives and continue to work?
How about write/read speed of this ?
Does somebody try this?
