It's not quite like copies as it's not actually a copy of the data I'm talking about. 10% parity or even 5% could easily fix most disk errors that won't result in a total disk loss. Basically something like par archives. "Only useful for simple workstations" isn't exactly "only" in my book. That would account for what, 90% of all computers? (97% of statistics are made up) Uep: Yeah it could be implemented by extending the checksum in some way. I don't see a performance issue if it's not enabled by default though. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
