Hi, does Perkeep offer any sort of error detection or correction? Data sitting on a disk will "rot" over time (bad disks, bad drivers, cosmic rays), and it would be good to automatically correct it.
I'm thinking something along the lines of a Reed-Solomon-style blob server. A simpler possibility might be to rely on the fact that a blob is content-addressed and check that the data read hashes back to the content address before returning it to the client. Combining this with multiple replicas would let the blob server replace bad blobs with good ones when detected. Or does Perkeep already have a story around this kind of thing? I haven't been able to find it. Thanks! Dan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Perkeep" group.
