Asta [AMP]hey hey <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/FileSystem" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FileSystem</a> <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/ZFS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZFS</a> <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/RAID" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RAID</a> <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/XFS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#XFS</a> entities! I'm looking for extremely opinionated discourses on alternatives to ZFS on Linux for slapping together a <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/JBOD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JBOD</a> ("Just a Bunch Of Disks", "Just a Buncha Old Disks", "Jesus! Buncha Old Disks!", etc) array. I like ZFS but the fact that it's not in tree in-kernel is an issue for me. What I need most is reliability and stability (specifically regarding parity) here; integrity is the need. Read/write don't have to be blazingly fast (not that I'm mad about it). I also have one <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/proxmox" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#proxmox</a> ZFS array where a raw disk image is stored for a <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/Qemu" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Qemu</a> <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/VirtualMachine;" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VirtualMachine;</a> in the VM, it's formatted to XFS. That "seems" fine in limited testing thus far (and seems fast?, so it does seem like the defaults got the striping correct) but I kind of hate how I have multiple levels of abstraction here. I don't think there's been any change on the <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/BTRFS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BTRFS</a> front re: raid-like array stability (I like and use BTRFS for single disk filesystems but) although I would love for that to be different. I'm open to <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/LVM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LVM</a>, etc, or whatever might help me stay in tree and up to date. Thank you! Boosts appreciated and welcome. <a href="https://fire.asta.lgbt/tags/techPosting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#techPosting</a>

Emorywhy would you buy a <a href="https://soc.kvet.ch/tags/jbod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jbod</a> for 4 mechanical and 4 nvme disks but kneecap it at 10Gbps just buy a NAS. i don't think anyone makes something like this for thunderbolt. i have owc's 4 nvme thunderbolt jbod and sabrent's thunderbolt 2x nvme enclosure, but 4 mechanical and this would be rad as hell if i could put 4x14 or 16TB disks two mirrored vdevs then redundant l2arc and zil riding shotgun. <a href="https://soc.kvet.ch/tags/zfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zfs</a> <a href="https://soc.kvet.ch/tags/storage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#storage</a> <a href="https://soc.kvet.ch/tags/householdIT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#householdIT</a><a href="https://a.co/d/8wr6ye6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://a.co/d/8wr6ye6</a>

Axel RafnI have an idea for creating <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/JBOD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JBOD</a> boxes that stack on top of each other so you can fairly quickly add more storage to your <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> Each box would have its own small PSU to power it and what else is needed to connect to the main server. However, I am lacking in hardware knowledge.I was thinking about each box having a SATA/SAS card and the PSU in it, then connecting that via an optic connection, mini SAS or something similar to the main host. What hardware should I be looking for?<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Help" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Help</a>

Judeau (EatTheRich)I received my Sabrent <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Jbod" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jbod</a> DAS. I got it setup and threw in a couple of 8TB drives.What is the best way to do a <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows</a> 10 mass file transfer from my old usb drives?From what I have read it sounds like Robocopy in Command Prompt is slightly faster and better than doing a standard cut and paste.Any recommendations or tips?<a href="https://mas.to/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/AskMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AskMastodon</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/PC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PC</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Backup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Backup</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Nas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nas</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tech</a>
