I'd like to propose a community dedicated to the storage software in
Open Solaris. This would include drivers below the filesystems/volume
managers, and related utilities.
For example, this would be:
-target drivers such as sd, st, ses
-SCSA framework
-FibreChannel stack, various parallel SCSI HBA drivers, ATA/IDE drivers,
the iSCSI initiator
-The storage specific portions of USB and Firewire
-Related utilities, such as fcinfo, format, luxadm, cfgadm plugin, etc
I see a couple reasons to do this:
-Generally the storage stack is a distinct part of OpenSolaris, and it's
interesting, at least to some of us :-)
-More specifically, the division of Sun I work in will soon be
releasing source for FibreChannel and the iSCSI initiator, as well as
other bits, and this community would be a good place for any discussion
to occur. Moreover, there's a lot of code already released that deals
with storage, which this community would include.
