[dm-devel] RAID4 with no striping mode request

2023-02-13 Thread Kyle Sanderson
hi DM and Linux-RAID, There have been multiple proprietary solutions (some nearly 20 years old now) with a number of (userspace) bugs that are becoming untenable for me as an end user. Basically how they work is a closed MD module (typically administered through DM) that uses RAID4 for a

[dm-devel] Intel QAT on A2SDi-8C-HLN4F causes massive data corruption with dm-crypt + xfs

2022-02-20 Thread Kyle Sanderson
A2SDi-8C-HLN4F has IQAT enabled by default, when this device is attempted to be used by xfs (through dm-crypt) the entire kernel thread stalls forever. Multiple users have hit this over the years (through sporadic reporting) - I ended up trying ZFS and encryption wasn't an issue there at all
