    You're mistaken. ZFS RAID-Z is definitely "raid" -- in fact it's RAID without the RAID-5 write hole on non-specialized (no NVRAM in the controller) hardware

    I sat through the entire presentation by the guy who headed the ZFS team. I know all about it, thank-you-very-fucking-much. My point was that it is not valid to compare Linux's md to ZFS and declare "linux md sucks, it can't do any of this!", because ZFS is not [just] a RAID system...AND because md can do things ZFS can't.

    I hate nit-picky little twerps like you who think you're so fucking smart because you stomp all over someone for not choosing their wording perfectly.
