What’s Next?
Deep DrivePool integration is coming up next.
This will be very cool and extensive. Scanner will have full control over file placement in DrivePool and will be able to automatically manage damaged disks.
The wheels are already in motion on this.
We need to add some new APIs into DrivePool in order to make this happen, and these new APIs will be super easy to use and will be fully exposed to 3rd party developers. This will allow anyone to build DrivePool plug-ins that do all kinds of interesting things.
