I see, "supporting applications" is just confusing English, because your filesystem isn't an application. I think you're just asking "How can I do raid on ubuntu." This question might be more appropriate on an ubuntu list instead. But here's a quick answer anyway: You can do zfs-fuse. It's not as good as having ZFS included natively with your OS. Aside from that, there is no raidz available in ubuntu, or any linux. (Well, at least theoretically you could use the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory linux port of ZFS, http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/zfs/, which will allow you to create raidz zpool's and then you can format the zvol with ext3/ext4). But this is lacking a lot of functionality of zfs, and extremely new. If you don't need "raidz" for example, if raid5 is ok ... man pvcreate, man vgcreate, man lvcreate. It's not as good as zfs or raidz, but it does support software raid5. But why would you want to do software raid5 on anything that doesn't have zfs? If you're not using zfs, you should get a hardware raid controller with writeback cache and BBU. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
