sure. we keep the cache on the coraid sr1521 as well. > How would you handle (or: how would venti handle), a > resize of the AoE device? that would depend on the device structure of ken's fs. as long as you don't use the pseudo-worm device, it wouldn't care. the worm would simply grow. if you use the pseudo-worm device (f), changing the size of the device would fail since the written bitmap is at a fixed offset from the end of the device. and if you try to read an unwritten block, the f panics the file server. i stopped using the f device. - erik
