What's the likelihood that a hard drive would implode and short out connectors and/or break traces to create shorts?Totally acceptable circumstances.

Just more system load per unit of IO, bugs, cant make vdevs part of vdevs.ZFS is cool, for sure, but its not a be all end all by any stretch. I've been able to break it in Solaris 10u5 where UFS would not break under the same stresses.

Yep. its a bug in solaris. BUt if you try and tell a sun person that, they get really pissy.

It appears that ZFS didn't recover after each drive failure until he unplugged the failed drive? Or was it coincidence that he unplugged the drive just as ZFS started recovering?

Raid 6 comes with Linux for free, runs on commodity hardware, no EMC, no FC, no raid card, no added software, et.c...ZFS has lots of other things going for it though, but those weren't demonstrated in this video.

ya try that with a linux server!Ive done that with windows but never got quite the same result.

The difference is that this is commodity hardware, no EMC, no FC, no raid card, no added software. All that is needed comes with OpenSolaris for free.

This capability is nothing new; I assume they went on to explain how RAID-Z2 differs from RAID 6...software pools, copy-on-write, full-stripe writes that internally mirror small blocks and variable width, at the expense of speed penalties and limited platform choice...of course the presentation seems to be aimed at the sort of upper management who will no doubt unilaterally decide that the company needs to be migrated to this system because it can sustain 2 sledgehammer induced drive failures.

what io meter utility is that on the left? |
