Uh Oh I think I started a fight in the chat over ZFS and Btrfs haha
That was you? Man some of those people were really into ZFS.

That was a really good overview and conversation... I wish the chat hadn't gone hardcore into FreeNAS vs FreeBSD....

Oh I missed that. Saw mention of ZFS fly by but it was hard to read while talking.

They always are. That's why I wrote that article

I think Linda was trying to sell her services. Her company is solely based on ZFS and FreeBSD as well as Solaris(who still uses that).

Is replicated local storage the same as software defined storage? I kind of missed that when you were talking and have been meaning to ask it.

Ah ha, that makes sense. Solaris is actually alive and well and a really awesome platform. That's what powers the M9000 that I mentioned. I'd love to be in a situation where we could justify a lot of Solaris.

Sort of. SDS has been applied to a lot of existing technologies.

Damn it, I missed it. How'd it go?

It was a lot of good information from many of @scottalanmiller's articles/blogs compressed into an hour long talk.
I would like to hear more about your RAID study, although I figured that was probably part of your thesis.

I can't tell really. Since I was talking to thin air. Felt decent.

Wall St. firm. 80,000 four drive RAID 10 array years (10K servers, 8 years.) Lost drives roughly 2-3 per week. Lost arrays: zero.
That extrapolates cleanly to 160,000 RAID 1 array years.

Hopefully this guy was on the webinar http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/825300-das-solution-with-vmware?source=homepage-feed

I missed the call. Was very busy putting out a few fires and installing some new server and cabling.

That's too bad. I feel like it went well. Covered good ground, I think.
-
@scottalanmiller I think I have read enough of your posts about storage to have a good idea on what you mentioned in the webinar.

What's amazing is how many people read my posts and then are like "oh wow, I had no idea you thought that" when I do these things
