Cosmos Darwin: Storage Spaces Direct: 10,000 Clusters and counting
I'm curious to see how much permanent data loss has occurred as a result of using S2D.
Heh … I've seen many a disaster recovery situation where backups were either non-existent or failed with no indication of things being broken. We've been in them (BUE ugh) and have been called in on many more. If the backups have not been fully restored bare-metal or bare-hypervisor they are not proven thus no-good IMNSHO. Spot restores do not count.
Here's a bad one: Maxta
Slightly different situation but: Dell Stops Swonly Sales of ScaleIO Virtual SAN <-- Folks being left in a lurch.
Data loss responsibility starts with the folks managing the backups. Usually, they are not important and seen as a cumbersome expense until something goes blotto. Then all of a sudden the CxOs are throwing money at a proper disaster recovery setup. But, by then it's too late.
