btrfs (general) raid for other filesystems?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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
