When i leverage the copyonwrite-ness (which is more redirect-on-write) of the filesystem to recover from a defunct state of the on-disk state to a known state, a filesystem check is just a suboptimal solution. That what…
The basic problem of filesystem repair is the point that you repair the metadata, but it can do nothing about your data. So when your filesystem enables you to fall back to a known consistent state of metadata and data…
Scrubbing is more like reading the block, calculate the checksum. It's the same as stored for the block (not at the block, important difference)? Nice. Not the same checksum. Go to the mirror and fetch the correct one,…
1. When there is a bug in the code that writes the ZFS stuff, why should the bug be addressed by the fsck code. This would assume, that you know of the bug beforehand, but then you could better fix the bug in the code…
When everybody thinks like that, only bureaucrats define standards. Lack of standards let to many problem: I´m just thinking about the amount of power supplies i have to carry. A power supply for the company mobile, a…
So instead to help to make them faster, just ignore them?
Perhaps because portability wasn't just an afterthought in your development.
At least in Solaris the kernel interfaces doesn't change from minor to minor release rendering existent binary drivers useless ;) But that aside: At the end the text is not about Linux, about Solaris or AIX, FreeBSD,…
No ... i don't want a pony ;) I just want to be able to to compile code on Solaris, Linux, one of the BSD without having to make vast adaptions (or hope that someone else made it). It isn't even about libraries. Of…
1. The problem is a different one: You develop for a 1-2 core machine and afterwards this stuff is destined to work on real servers. I can´t count how often i found massive scaling problems in systems you wasn´t able to…
