What are you trying to get out of RAID6?  If redundancy and integrity
are already managed at another layer, then just use RAID0 for striping.

I like to use RAID10 for mirror + striping, but I understand parity disks 
give redundancy without halving capacity.  Parity means RMW cycles of
largish blocks, whereas straight mirroring (RAID1, RAID10) can write
single sectors without a RMW cycle.
