Actually, right now Ceph doesn't check btrfs' data integrity information, but since Ceph doesn't have any data-at-rest integrity verification it relies on btrfs if you want that. Integrating integrity verification throughout the system is on our long-term to-do list. We too will be said if using a kernel-level integrity system requires using DIO, although we could probably work out a way to do "translation" between our own integrity checksums and the btrfs-generated ones if we have to (thanks to replication). -Greg -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
