Data Scrubbing in archives and paranoia

Installation from source code was painless and uneventful; it took about ten minutes and resulted in about half a dozen loadable modules. For my testing, I'm using a raidz1 pool made up of three 2GB virtual drives. As expected, it is much, much faster than the earlier FUSE layer implementation. Also as expected, just like under Solaris, ZFS under Linux wants lots of RAM to do its magic. Performance is reasonable, with the expected bottleneck of my three "spindles" being virtual disks on the same physical drive, which is under a pretty heavy load as it is handling half a dozen other virtual machines. So far I've only done some very basic tests like exercising basic administrative functionality and copying /usr into and out of a ZFS filesystem. It seems to work fine. All basic administrative functionality that I've tried so far: create, delete, rename, set & get attributes, all function as expected. This is a far cry from "I'd trust it in production", but so far, so good. -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL
