[Twg] T10 End-to-End Data Integrity HLD

[John Carrier]

I thought Sun's Merkle tree solution was tied to ZFS.   

I don't see any requirement of the backend file system in this doc.  Given the OSD work being done at LLNL to separate the Lustre servers from the details of the backend storage, we will need to add DIX to OSD so that there is a mechanism for passing the protection information between Lustre and the disk file system.  

In fact, adding OSD support will be required for whatever end-to-end data integrity solution we devise, whether it is T10PI or Sun's Merkle tree or something else.  Otherwise we violate the clean layering OSD will provide.

How will this work with OSD?

How does this solution compare to the long standing plan to use merkle 
trees for end-to-end checksums?
