Greetings Have used zfs raidz for while and question rised is it possible to expand raidz with additional disks. Got answer pool yes but raidz "group" no.
So very high level idea for you , maybe already know. And i'm not detail level expert of zfs so here might be "trivial" things for you. So could add operation enhanced so that it allow to add additional disks/devices to raidz. some criterias : larger or equal with current pool devices i assume tricky part is how to make that new device into use. how about every write is pointed to all devices and while read is only "previous" or brute force during add process write every file again using all devices. i know in NetApp Filers this allready works , so i think this is just finding way how to make it work in zfs raidz Thanks for your time This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
