I am answering my own question here. In the meantime I digged more into this topic and I got an answer from one of the btrfs developers. He pointed me to a new function called ‘_raid stripe tree_’ which was introduced with kernel 6.7. > **[Linux\_6.7 - Linux Kernel Newbies](https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_6.7#Btrfs)** > > Summary of the changes and new features merged in the Linux kernel during the 6.7 development cycle The commit says: > Introduce the RAID stripe tree, a new tree for logical file extent mapping where the physical mapping may not match on multiple devices. This is now used in zoned mode to implement RAID0/RAID1\* profiles, but can be used in non-zoned mode as well. **The support for RAID56 is in development and will eventually fix the problems with the current implementation.** This is a backward incompatible feature and has to be enabled at mkfs time Newer kernels did not receive any update to ‘_raid stripe tree_’. Which means that there is still no progress with regard to RAID56. But at least there is more hope now. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/when-will-there-be-btrfs-raid6-support/59549)._
