works a treat on macOS
I decided to "play" with Ubuntu Desktop 17.04.
#modinfo zfs shows version 0.6.5.9.2
but I can't import because ZOL is complaining about not able to support edon-r hash algorithm...
do they know something we don't?
I vaguely recall edon-r having some issue...
Edon-R's efficiency in CPU cycles comes at the
cost of not really being a strong hash function. One demonstration of
this is that it allows detectable patterns in its output depending on
the last few bytes of the input, which is a fatal flaw in the eyes of
cryptographers. This is called a "distinguisher"
but I wasn't aware that they disabled it for ZOL...
The only way I'm going to get around this is if I compile ZFS myself with edon-r enabled, correct?
back to skein for me folks...
