+1 - I like the idea of a parameter for hashing algorithm very much. For reference - DRBD lets you choose your algorithm as well. While I agree with the comments about CRCs being weak, they are awesomely fast. And Nehalem CPUs make them even faster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE4#SSE4.2 The next argument is just which sane default should be chosen. In which case, I'd be interested to let benchmarks speak. - Morgan _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
