| |
Hello,
I'd like to know if it's easy to write a RAID like device for tapes (RAIT)... For block devices, hooks are present in the kernel code, but for char devices, is there a way to implement a write function for example, which will write in parallel to N /dev/stX tape devices ?
RAIT already exists in Amanda, in user space, but I'd like to see a generic kernel RAIT driver which could be used by any backup program.
Cheers,
