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? m
