Stable enough where it is being used at Lawrence Livermore Nat'l Labs on
a 55PB Lustre resource.
I've been using it on a pre-release Lustre 2.4 and I have not had any
issues.

I don't feel like using the fuse version, but is zfsonlinux really stable yet?
----- Opprinnelig melding -----
Roy,
Why not use ZFS on Linux? (http://www.zfsonlinux.org)
ZFS on Linux is being merged into the upcoming Lustre 2.4 parallel
filesystem release.

Hi all
It seems we may need some storage for video soon. This is a 20k
studen college in Norway, with rather a few on media related
studies. Since these students produce rather large amounts of raw
material, typically to be stored during the semester, we may need
some 50-100TiB, perhaps more. I have setup systems with these
amounts of storage earlier on ZFS, but may be using Linux MD for
this project. I'm aware of the lack of checksumming, snapshots etc
with Linux, but may be using it because of more Linux knowledge
amongst the sysadmins here. In such a setup, I guess nearline SAS
drives on a SAS expander will be used, and with the amount of
storage needed, I won't be using a single RAID-6 (too insecure) or
RAID-10 (too expensive) for the lot. In ZFS-land I used smallish
VDEVs (~10 drives each) in a large pool.
- Would using LVM on top of RAID-6 give me something similar?
- If so, should I stripe the RAID sets, and again, if striping
them, will it be as easy to add new RAID sets as we run out of
space?
Thanks, and best regards
roy

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres
intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å
unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med xenotyp etymologi. I de
fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på
norsk.
