<font size=3>I have been watching the discussion that I kicked off with
my post and I still don't have a good feeling on what we are all supposed
to do for 2009. <br><br>
I just installed a 4 x 1TB RAID5 array for a net of 3TBs. Given the URE
argument, the next step should be ZFS. However while a less than optimal,
user-space-based, fuse-based, ZFS is available, a kernel-based ZFS is not
currently available or planned because of licensing issues. <br><br>
So my questions are:<br><br>
Going forward, what are best mythtv practices for many large disk
drives?<br><br>
Should we all go out and create OpenSolaris boxes as NAS boxes so we can
get decent ZFS functionality and performance? Should we pray for ZFS
kernel support on Linux per the recent posting of Linux Torvalds and Jeff
Bonwick (ZFS creator) chatting together at Sun HQ? -

</a>Should we just pray that although the statistics say otherwise,
native RAID5 on Linux will not self-destruct when using many large
capacity drives? <br><br>
Any ideas?<br><br>
