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.
It looks like there are no objections to the creation of this community
at this point. Do we have any +1 votes from the CAB?
