Raid 5/6 isn't exactly relevant to this article, given its about laptop/desktop default file system. And the installer won't let you do raid5/6. Anyway a current write-up on btrfs raid 5 here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20200627032414.GX10769@hungrycats.org/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20200627032414.GX10769@h... Includes this observation: "btrfs raid5 is quantitatively more robust against data corruption than ext4+mdadm (which cannot self-repair corruption at all), but not as reliable as btrfs raid1 (which can self-repair all single-disk corruptions detectable by csum check)." But worth reading the whole thing.
