Aucbvax.5569 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Sun Dec 27 00:25:22 1981 Interleaved files systems? >From TJT@MIT-XX Sun Dec 27 00:12:42 1981 Is anyone using interleaved files systems under 4.1BSD (or V7 unix for that matter)? We are interested in finding out if it does a good job of balancing the load among several disks, and if it is grossly less reliable than simply creating separate file systems on each of the disks. We would only be interleaving two of the three RP06 drives on our system so that provided our drives stay in alignment, we won't be badly scrod if just one drive goes down. The other reason we would want to use a multi-disk file system is to avoid fragmentation of free disk space and simplify the administrative hassle of backing up file systems.

I will collect replies and make them available to interested parties. -------
