Subject: [PATCH docs v2 2/5] storage: harden ZFS over NVMe/TCP guidance
Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 00:36:27 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <fc5e89930bf06d737578afbba0f68cf54475b479.1785636981.git.joaquinvarela@neatech.ar> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1785636981.git.joaquinvarela@neatech.ar>
Clarify interface consistency, control-plane availability, safe
storage removal, offline resize and the DH-HMAC-CHAP security
boundary.
Require qualification of fencing and independent failure domains.
Do not present nested-lab validation as hardware sizing.
Signed-off-by: Joaquin Varela <joaquinvarela@neatech.ar>
