But there is always the possibility that someone will want it enough to implement it... looks in the general direction of SUSE. I like the idea of the version of RAID1 they have, where two copies of the data are stored, even if you have multiple disks. It looks like it should provide RAID5 like capacities without some of the overhead. I've been moving my ZFS partitions around, which reminded me how good=20 zfs send/zfs recv are, so I can give btrfs RAID a good try out soon. --=20 Neil Bothwick LISP: Lots of Infuriating & Silly Parentheses --Sig_/CuM3aHO=OArNvG60Y6.w__8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlN2abUACgkQum4al0N1GQOxSACfRHUuh0LoTqqCn2hEC6EpdqXB m7gAn2hUqorEZniXeno8LFXl1ULbWKs/ =OyFa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/CuM3aHO=OArNvG60Y6.w__8--
