Subject: RAID-6 works! (At least it seems to...)
Date: 23 Dec 2003 00:43:27 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bs8v7f$klr$1@cesium.transmeta.com> (raw)
Well, at least I have a piece of code that passes my relatively simple
functionality tests. Still, that's news, and this is the first RAID-6
snapshot that isn't *known* to be broken :)
I can at least mount filesystems, read and write data, reboot the
system and have the data still there, with 1 or 2 disks lost, and do a
reconstruction once the drives are added back in.
New development snapshot at:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hpa/raid6-20031224-experimental.tar.gz
Please test it out and let me know how badly it sucks :)
At some point I'll try to run some benchmarks. There is also a lot of
optimization still to be done.

[And again, thanks to Penguin Computing for donating a test system,
without which this would never have happened.]
