ZFS is able to detect corruption thanks to checksumming, but for single drives (regular folk-pcs) it doesn't help much unless it can correct them. I've been searching and can't find anything on the topic, so here goes:
1. Can ZFS do parity data on a single drive? e.g. x% parity for all writes, recover on checksum error. 2. If not, why not? I imagine it would have been a killer feature. I guess you could possibly do it by partitioning the single drive and running raidz(2) on the partitions, but that would lose you way more space than e.g. 10%. Also not practical for OS drive. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
