Hi, Actually the idea of having the ZFS code inside a HW raid controllers does seems quite interesting. Imagine the possibility of having any OS with raid volumes backed by all the good aspects of the ZFS, specially the checksum and the raidz vs the "raid5-write-hole" thing... I also consider the fact that if the implementation on the HW supports import/export , for migration tasks it would be great ! However since my knowledge is very very very limited in this area, i wonder if technically it's achievable or if the challenges are far more bigger than the benefits...
This would be quite interesting as a marketing tool because anyone could have the power of ZFS on their storage with or without having to deploy a solaris/opensolaris..even windows systems would benefit from this ;) ZFS for the masses, by the masses ;) Bruno On 24-3-2010 20:02, Svein Skogen wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 24.03.2010 19:53, Karl Rossing wrote: > >> On 03/24/10 12:54, Richard Elling wrote: >> >>> Nothing prevents a clever chap from building a ZFS-based array controller >>> which includes nonvolatile write cache. >>> >> +1 to that.
