I'm going for skein when I will re-create my quirky 15TB pool this evening. So I will use your config

I saw that edon-R has some issues...

First comment about SIMD, we are somewhat lucky that in XNU kernel we can mix SIMD with regular without any hoop-jumping, so we can vectorise our algorithms at any time. None of them are at the moment though. I was looking at the fletcher avx2 code from ZOL, but realised my hardware does not have AVX2 so I am unable to test it anyway.

As for EDON-R, the cryptographical concerns are probably valid, but it is only used as checksum in ZFS, so worries about collisions are probably not as drastic. But who knows.

And i guess you meant "checksum=skein" instead of "compression=skein".

Did have a pint in my hand at the time when I hit the submit button.

Might have something to do with it :roll:
