Hey, I get it, and I like it.
Good stuff, NightShade!
Hey, I get it, and I like it.
So these things have something to do with it? Are you really concerned with having that many drive failures? What kind data are you storing that it takes that kind of redundancy and self-healing file restoration and on-the-fly continuous rechecking? It sounds like you've got movies on there, is this mainly for a home NAS setup?
I've got a 12TB 4-disk NAS in RAID5 which has about half of its 8 or so terabytes of accessible storage full right now, but nothing is critical data - it's used strictly as a home media server for Kodi. I'm wondering if this kind of setup (I'd never researched ZFS before) would be of any benefit to me. I believe I'd need to overwrite/flash my storage device's hardware RAID in order to use another device to perform the actual read/write, yes? I mean, I couldn't use my Netgear NAS, I suppose I'd have to build a separate box like you did? What did you build for your box? It's not RAM-intensive per Wikipedia, as there's no write-caching?
I may not be understanding everything completely, I'm pretty shallow in this gene pool...
Cool writeup, though, thanks!
I skipped down.....it didn't help.
Very nice setup. One of these days I'ma do a rackmount server system in my house. When I get a house with some room. lol
