Description Sven Gothel 2013-05-30 19:37:56 CEST 
On current jogamp.org server, we have experienced silent GNU/Linux SW Raid-1 block mismatches.

[root@jogamp sysconfig]# cat /sys/block/md2/md/mismatch_cnt 
1024

The semantics of GNU/Linux SW Raid are inconclusive, i.e. it could be nothing,
but also a silent degradation (block failure).

Since the only reliable filesystem w/ proven block failure detection via sha256 checksums
including healing via redundancies (mirror or raidz) is ZFS,
we need to move to a new box w/ preferably ECC Ram and 2x Enterprise HDD for mirroring setup.

A work in progress is documented here (doc will move to git later on): 
  <http://jogamp.org/files/temp/zfs-linux-server-setup.txt>

The move will probably happen within next week, i.e. June 3rd - 7th.
