Slightly off topic, but would anyone care to comment on the advantages and disadvantages of WAFL versus something like HP AutoRAID?

Thanks,

BTW, got your book... great job!! You make mention of NetApp and RAID4 in
your book. You say RAID4 is like RAID3 (except it's block level parity) so I
assume it performs like RAID3 which you state is better for DSS but not as
good for OLTP. NetApp claims to have overcome RAID4 performance issues with
their wafl architecture. Any feedback on this?

Waiting for your next book,
Steve Orr
