=============

|

This is a list of possible TODO for SnapRAID. The order is not relevant.

|
* Easy way to find duplicates using the computed hash.

|
|
|
* Easy way to find files using a specified block.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Reduce memory occupation removing the flag field in the block structure.

|
|
* Add RAID6 redundancy support. There is the very good raid6 library from
|
|
|
|
|
H. Peter Anvin (hpa) in the Linux Kernel ready to use. See:

|
* Go multithread to speed up the MD5 computation. We can do it when syncing and
|
|
|
|
|
checking.

* Evaluate the new MurmorHash3 to use instead MD5. It should be faster, but
|
|
|
|
|
unsure of it's reliability. In fact, in MurmorHash2 was found a serious issue
|
|
|
|
|
that suggests to wait some time before using it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Use the O_NOATIME flag if run as 'root'. Anyway a better solution is to
|
|
|
|
|
mount the disk with the "noatime" and "nodiratime" options.
