6 drive RAIDZ setup what poopped
the previous one was just two 1TB disks in RAID1
was not fun
but I have two 8TB disks now and could get more
but idk what to do
but what others say about is : "its good and trust worthy in most cases out there"
worthy read about it
yeah I found that page too
pretty tldr: if you know how much and what you need : ZFS is godsend for your storage needs
but if you aim to slowly tune and expand
its not that great
dunno if other raid modes work differently on ZFS
oh yeah i meant to send this to you day or two ago @porco https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/turris-mox-modular-open-source-router#/ seen that yet ?
lettuce in your router?
their advert video is hilarious
@Tervy should I just run 4 disk RAID10 <:thonkang:327933449597878312>
ask /r/datahoarder
:P
i use mostly off-site systems these days
i only have learned not to run raid5
and never built more than 2 larger nas setups
where someone else did most of the "operating system" work
I have two disks and could increase that to 3-4 right now
but i have 8 bays and want to expand in the future
this one person said MDADM+LVM
i have no idea what that is lmao
mdadm is raid management and monitoring software what is qutie nice
he pretty much suggested software based raid system
not hardware based
gay
then ofc there is option for raid 6 madness what has most fault-tolerance :D
and requires 4 drives minimn
well, raid 6 is pretty equal to raid10
and but yeah im not a person to answer this question with enough knowledge
raid5/6 has a lot of write overhead because of parity
and they're slower to restore because of parity calculations
hence the 4 drives
