My very first questions regarding a potential storage solution revolve around data loss:

    1. Can we enumerate the data loss scenarios?
    2. How is drive failure handled?
    3. How may data be corrupted and such corruption detected?
    4. For every data loss scenario, what is the recovery procedure?

Here is all I could find: http://rockstor.com/docs/faq.html#how-do-i-prevent-data-loss...

Of course, there is a wealth of information on such questions for standard RAID, but I would suggest for marketing purposes that rockstor synthesize available information (from the many relevant layers of data management) in a coherent fashion, specific to their product. It doesn't have to be deep, but it should be at least minimally comprehensive and broad, with pointers to more detailed, layer-specific information.

Also, it's fine if the recovery scenario is "restore from backup" for e.g. the scenario where data is deleted by an authorized user. If so, there should be at least a minimal "backup story".

That is great feedback for us. I've added a documentation issue with your feedback: https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-doc/issues/37

We have added appliances <-> appliance replication recently, which can play an important role in recovering from bigger disasters.

We'll have all that documented. Please feel free to participate on our github.
