DRAID Coming?

[NickF]

Just curious if DRAID is on the docket for potential inclusion in 23.02 or whatever it ends up being? Since alot of BlueFin slipped into next release, I'm not even sure what is planned at this point. Is there an upcoming roadmap on what we should expect to see?

DRAID is already there in ZFS in both CORE and SCALE released versions.

There's no support for it in the GUI as yet on either version, so any DRAID pool you create (with CLI) must be maintained (replacing disks, etc.) with the CLI only.

I don't see DRAID support on the roadmap for the GUI at this point.

dRAID is in the base OpenZFS, but we're still doing some investigation to make sure its solid enough to recommend to users building pools before we toss it in the UI as an option. Thats something hard to undo if you pick your layout poorly

I use it on my SCALE host with three disks, which admittedly doesn't make much sense, just to try it. No noticeable negative effects so far.
