What was wrong with LVM snapshots? Performance?
in zfs every write is 'copy on write', so snapshots have 'zero' cost, and
multiple snapshots can use same data.
in LVM every snapshot is standalone and has all the information it needs. also
LVM doesn't have snapshot-based replication, and
Hello,
Is the bandwidth used really a big problem? Bandwidth is pretty
cheap
these days, and given Wikipedia's total draw, I suspect the
occasional
dump download isn't much of a problem.
I am not sure about the cost of the bandwidth, but the wikipedia image dumps

Currently we're in talks with WM-DE, so they will provision some storage for
long-term archives of raw data, and we will probably add image view statistics
then. Good stuff, right?

I think having access to them on Commons repository is much easier to
handle. A subset should be good enough.
Having 11 TB of images needs huge research capabilities in order to handle
all of them and work with all of them.
Maybe a special API or advanced API functions would allow people enough

rsyncd is fail for large file mass delivery, and it is fail when exposed to

Can someone articulate what the use case is?
Is there someone out there who could use a 5 TB image archive but is
disappointed it doesn't exist? Seems rather implausible.
If not, then I assume that everyone is really after only some subset
