Hey folks,
Wanted to check if anyone out here uses BTRFS (and willing to share
their experiences[1]) as the backend filesystem for GlusterFS. We're
planning to explore some of it's features and put it to use for
GlusterFS. This was discussed briefly during the weekly meeting on
#gluster-meeting[2].
To start with, we plan to explore data/metadata checksumming (+
scrubbing) and subvolumes to "offload" the work to BTRFS. The mentioned
features would help us with BitRot detection[3] and Openstack Manila use
cases respectively (though there are various other nifty things one
would want to do with them).
Thanks in advance!
[1]: using any of it's features such as snapshot, data/metadata
checksumming, etc. as an added functionality for Gluster
