A few weeks ago I fixed a bug in #OpenZFS and I can't stop thinking about it.

An (almost) catastrophic OpenZFS bug and the humans that made it (and Rust is here too)
A couple of weeks ago I fixed a nasty bug in this function in OpenZFS:despair labs
Jamie Teh reshared this.

in reply to Rob π • • •it seems crazy to me that we don't have tooling that can detect this. how is that even possible?
but also, even not knowing wtf the specifics were about this function it did stick out like a sore thumb that the function was called "vdev_raidz_asize_to_psize" and then never returned psize
on a side note, I began the article wondering if I needed to backport this patch to my kernel to avoid corruption and then was relieved to realize it's only going to affect raidz and I avoid raidz due to paranoia about resilvering times with giant HDDs and overall performance
