Maybe. The enterprise I work for requires that every change be reversible and repeatable. Every change requires a backout plan and that plan better be fast and nondisruptive. Who are these enterprise admins who can honestly state that they have no requirement to reverse operations? Who runs a 24x7 storage system and will look you in the eye and state, "The storage decisions (parity count, number of devices in a stripe, etc.) that I make today will be valid until the end of time and will NEVER need nondisruptive adjustment. Every storage decision I made in 1993 when we first installed RAID is still correct and has needed no changes despite changes in our business models." My experience is that this attitude about enterprise storage borders on insane. Something does not compute. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
