Subject: RAIT device driver feasibility
Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2005 16:42:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41E696F4.3070700@linbox.com> (raw)
Hello,
I'd like to know if it's easy to write a RAID like device for tapes (RAIT)...
For block devices, hooks are present in the kernel code, but for char devices,
is there a way to implement a write function for example, which will write in
parallel to N /dev/stX tape devices ?
RAIT already exists in Amanda, in user space, but I'd like to see a generic
kernel RAIT driver which could be used by any backup program.
Cheers,
