BTRFS RAID5/6 - ever?

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

 



Dear Chris and others,

The problem with RAID5/6 in BTRFS, is really a shame, and led, e.g., Synology to use BTRFS on top of their SHR instead of running "pure BTRFS", hence losing some of the benefits of BTRFS being able to add and remove disks to and from a volume on a running system.

Is there any outlook to getting this fixed? As far as remember I saw a pull request by someone who had fixed this problem (adding some kind of journal to BTRFS) in 2017? What prevents that from being implemented? Time, people / spare time developers, Linux kernel people, or is Oracle stopping it? (to favor ZFS)?

Any insights?

Best 
Hoegge
