They also mentioned this at some of the ZFS talks at LISA 2008. The general argument is that, while plenty of hobbyists are clamoring for this, not enough paying customers are asking to make it a high enough priority to get done.
If you think about it, the code is not only complicated but will be incredibly hard to get right and _prove_ it's right. Maybe the ZFS guys can just borrow the algorithm from Linux mdraid's experimental CONFIG_MD_RAID5_RESHAPE: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/djbw/md.git;a=blob;f=drivers/md/raid5.c;h=224de022e7c5d6574cf46747947b3c9e326c8632;hb=HEAD#1885 -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
