I read about ZFS on wikipedia, this looks very good.
I would like to try and help with testing. I have a box with six
drive bays and a bunch of SCSI drives at my disposal in my
office.
Anything in particular you would like tested?
I assume steps are something like:
- install -CURRENT with debug kernel
- (maybe??) pull code from your perforce branch
- define slices as geom providers
- put RAID-Z on top
- try to break it:
* run postmark from a number of consoles
* remove drive, make sure array functions, then put back in
and make sure array rebuilds properly
* generate scsi disk errors somehow?
* add a disk to increase capacity (if ZFS supports this)
I've not yet run -CURRENT so this is new territory for me. Any
general guidelines would be welcome.
Also, is this the right list for this?
