Stupid question, how smart is the rait driver for disk ?
If you put the spool area on the output disk will it juggle
the space ok ? Will it know to move the file from one directory
to another (move the file pointer # mv perhaps) rather than
having to copy all the bits and then remove the original ?
It's not as simple. The header of a file on tape is a little
different than the header of a file in the holdingdisk.
E.g. a file in the holdingdisk has provisions to indicate that
it is chunked. A file on tape is never chunked.
I'm not sure what is done with a very large dump and the
file driver; is it assumed that the filesystem to hold file-dumps
can handle large files? (Too early in the morning to understand the
sources :-) )
