Ein Vortrag von problame auf der GPN15.
Most file systems used today lack support for many advanced features, e.g. data integrity & low-cost snapshots. Not too long ago, power-outages in the middle of a write could have catastrophic consequences. Volume Managers that do not know about their volumes' file systems are inflexible. Hardware-RAIDs are problems rather than solutions.
This talk gives an overview of ZFS, a (not so) new approach to file systems & volume management, attempting to solve the problems mentioned above.
Beginning with an analysis of the deficiencies of current file systems we walk through different technologies that could be used to for mitigation. A short history of the implementation of ZFS is followed by several demos of features that are unique to ZFS / similar systems. We finish with a recap & time for questions.
Those interested in further exploring ZFS are encouraged to participate in the workshop taking place later the same day.
