The new RAIDZ expansion feature allows for additional disks to be added one at a time to a RAID-Z group. This feature allows incrementally increasing the capacity of the RAID array and can be useful for small pools This RAID-Z expansion functionality has been in the works for years: the FreeBSD Foundation originally sponsored work on this going back to 2017. There's also been sponsorship by iXsystems to get this work completed along with vStack. OpenZFS RAIDZ expansion merged More details on this OpenZFS RAID-Z expansion can be found via this commit summing things up. After being long in development, it's fantastic to see this feature finally merged. 7 Comments Tweet [INS::INS] Related News EROFS No Longer Treating MicroLZMA Compression As Experimental Bcachefs Lands Big Scalability Improvement, Disables Debug Option By Default OpenZFS Lands Sync Parallelism To Drive Big Gains For Write Performance Scalability F2FS In Linux 6.7 Supports Larger Page Size, Continued Zone Block Device Work JFS File-System Seeing Minor Stability Improvements With Linux 6.7 Linux 6.7 MMC To See Up To 4~5% Better 4K Random Write Performance About The Author Michael Larabel Michael Larabel is the principal author of Phoronix.com and founded the site in 2004 with a focus on enriching the Linux hardware experience.
