Subject: btrfs (general) raid for other filesystems?
Date: Sun, 19 May 2013 18:31:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <knb28t$p9p$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)

Just a random Sunday afternoon thought:

We've got some rather nice variations on the block-level RAID schemes
but instead being implemented at the filesystem level in btrfs...

Could the btrfs RAID be coded to be general so that a filesystem stack
could be set up whereby the filesystem level raids could be used for ANY
filesystem?


So for example, we could have the stack:


filesystem level RAID

 |
 V

filesystem

 |
 V

Block level


So, an interesting variation could be to have filesystem level raid
operating on ext4 or nilfs or whatever... Would that be a sensible idea?



Regards,
Martin
