Hey. I've lost a bit track recently and the wiki changelog doesn't seem to contain much about how things went on at the RAID5/6 front... so how're things going?
Is it already more or less "productively" usable? What's still missing? I guess there still aren't any administrative tools that e.g. monitor for failed disks or block errors? Does that RAID5/6 itself work already? Is it possible to replace broken devices (or such with block errors)? Are things like a completely failing disk (during fs being online) handled gracefully? How about scrubbing/repairing... I assume on read it would identify silent block errors by the checksum[0] and rebuild it if possible, doing what when it fails? Just giving read errors? Marking the btrfs RAID failed and remounting the fs read-only? Cheers & thx, Chris. [0] Except of course for the nodatacow case, which, albeit a major case, unfortunately still seems to lack the important checksumming support :-(
