* Allow to put parity directly into the underline block device without the need
of any filesystem.
That would allow to increase a lot the free space for parity. For example, NTFS
reserves 12.5% of the space for the MFT.
That would allow to increase a lot the free space for parity.
We can implement some kind of filesystem detection to avoid to overwrite an already
existing filesystem.
- Still risky if stuffs go wrong.
- In Linux with largefile4 there is only a very small amount of space wasted.
In the order of 0.01%. Not really worth to do it.
- Is this really a problem. If NTFS wastes 12.5% of space by default, can we also
waste something in the order of 2% ?
- With NTFS the saving is also limited, because the "reserved" MFT of 12.5% is
not really exclusively reserved, but can be used also for normal files,
when all the remainig space is filled.
* Split the parity in multiple files and allow it to coexist with data
in the same disk.
