I did a very small start on RAID1C last year but don't have the diff
handy right now. It was very small anyway, I hadn't gotten anywhere
beyond very basic changes.
My goal back then was to have RAID1C be a proper discipline but implemented
mostly as glue code which calls into functions written for the CRYPTO and
RAID1 disciplines. But such functions could also be copied over to a RAID1C
discipline and modified until things work; and maybe refactored back later.
Let me know when you get started with this. I'd be interested in working on
RAID1C, but not all by myself. I could make use of RAID1C on my storage box.
