At first blush restoring anything from RAID-5 with two volumes removed
is computationally impossible.  Care to elaborate?

I agree mdadm in the linux kernel is by far the best RAID system I've
ever used.  I've used several hardware setups (from DPT and adaptec).
They were all very expensive and disappointing.
