Hello, Miroslav. You wrote 5 октября 2011 г., 12:24:06: >> What RAID do you mean exactly? geom_stripe? geom_mirrot? geom_raid? >> Something else? > I am mostly using geom_mirror. [SKIPPED] Oh, I see. Unfortunately, there is no GEOM metadata infrastructire, GEOMs are too generic for this. I could design some meta-meta framework, and unify all RAID classes with "intenral" metadtata (geom_stripe, geom_concat, geom_mirror, geom_raid3 and my external geom_raid5) to use it. In such case it will work -- kernel will not pass providers with "ditry" metadtata to any GEOMs, but owners, for tasting. Of course, classes like geom_part and geom_raid could not be changed in such way -- they are forced to use pre-defined metadata formats. It is good idea, but it should be separate project. And, yes, it will change metadata format for these GEOMs, so it will not be backward-compatible. And, yes, it seems to be much more intrusive change in GEOM subsystem (because it will change tasting sequence), and should be supervised by other developers from very beginning. I could write proposal in near future, with some design notes. -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <lev_at_FreeBSD.org>Received on Wed Oct 05 2011 - 06:58:35 UTC
