Question: Is Lessfs in its current form considered “production ready”?

I’m not sure if it hit your spam or not, but I had sent an email, as you suggested, to inquire about how you’re avoiding the fsck.

Any additional insight is greatly appreciated.

Best,

Mike

This option will work with both the tc and fileio backend.
You can already implement replication with drbd. Lessfs will get native snapshots and replication in the future. DRBD does work and is available today.

great news ! This could be so great ! As recovering crashes is such a pain for now !

Let us know if this might work on the TC storage option ?

This smell like such a revolution ;) hope to ear more about that stuff !

By the way, but just as an idea for the far away future, getting replication, by, as an idea, while using the tc storage, storing datas on the first place and running the same data “updates” on a second place. Like your rollback but as a “rollnext” :)

But first let’s know more about this new good news… :D

Since LessFS is ideal for storing backups, reliability is important, and as I mentioned in an earlier comment, the fsck performance in my basic testing seems way too slow for real use.
