From: Dave To: linux-btrfs@vger.kernel.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Sender: linux-btrfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Back in Feb 2013 there was quite a bit of press about the preliminary raid5/6 implementation in Btrfs. At the time it wasn't useful for anything other then testing and it's my understanding that this is still the case. I've seen a few git commits and some chatter on this list but it would appear the developers are largely silent. Parity based raid would be a powerful addition the the Btrfs feature stack and it's the feature I most anxiously await. Are there any milestones planned for 2014? Keep up the good work... -- -=[dave]=- Entropy isn't what it used to be.
