Hi any opinions on suns zfs/raid-z? It seems like a good way to avoid the performance problems of raid-5 /raid-6
But does it stripe? One could think that rewriting stripes other places would damage the striping effects. Or is the performance only meant to be good for random read/write? Can the code be lifted to Linux? I understand that it is already in freebsd. Does Suns licence prevent this? And could something like this be built into existing file systems like ext3 and xfs? They could have a multipartition layer in their code, and then the heuristics to optimize block access could also apply to stripe access. best regards keld - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
