Well, I agree in principle however the increase in complexity is likely to make the whole thing even harder to be as reliable as one needs...

This seems interesting not so much because of the write-hole but because of the possible increase in speed. I'm not going to ask about the filesystem features because I think you already said in the list that you want to play with it yourself :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
