🔁 RAID vs ZFS

RAID: tecnología que agrupa discos para mejorar rendimiento o seguridad según el nivel que elijas (RAID 0, 1, etc.). Es simple, útil y eficiente para muchas tareas.

ZFS : sistema de archivos + gestor de volúmenes que incluye su propio tipo de RAID, snapshots, compresión, verificación de integridad...

¿Lo básico? RAID.
¿Potencia y control? ZFS es el camino.

#RAID#ZFS#TechTips

I have a large pile of old laptop 2.5" HDD drives (NOT SSD) in varying GB sizes. I think I might do something mad with them and build a 20 drive (or more) RAID NAS.

The only thing I need really, is 20 port (or more) SATA PCI-E card... Does such a thing exist?

Continued thread

Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 💩 and not worth the trouble.

🤷 Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 🤦‍♂️

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

ICE Raid Resources - Housing Not Handcuffs

> ICE is now targeting homeless people. This inhumane directive is just one page of the Trump administration’s anti-Black, anti-homeless, anti-migrant, anti-trans and anti-poor agenda.

Hast du dir einen neuen Synology NAS-Server zugelegt und fragst dich bei der Inbetriebnahme, welches RAID du verwenden solltest? In diesem sehr kompakten Beitrag möchte ich beschreiben, welche Möglichkeiten du bei der Einrichtung deines NAS-Servers hast und für welches RAID ich mich entschieden habe.

@abulling
From a different point of views and the fact that one can host a Server on any machine.

Components or machines should avoid as many parts as possible from big tech Bros. That means all for recommendations before should be ignored.
AMD instead of Intel and Nvidia is more compatible with Linux as it supports it.

I'll keep my current stuff as it does not make sense to throw functional parts away, but I'll consider this on next sets.

What do you think?

Continued thread

BTW - if anyone of you has a recommendation for a 19" mini rack server (shorter mounting depth) I'd love to hear about them.

I'd like to try #proxmox for the typical services #homeassistant #nextcloud #paperlessngx #adblocker #vpn etc

Ideally #ssd or #nvme in a #raid plus separate disks for storage (also raid). IOMMU

Doesn't have to be the newest version. A slightly older and used one is also fine.

#boost welcome - thanks a lot!

Continued thread

the #Pine64 #SOQuartz has a nice lil trick: a M.2 slot that i fit with a 6 port SATA controller thingy

basically, i get to add 6 harddrives to this, giving me the option to #RAID (basically, turn several disks into just one, with some built-in backups and protection)

i've ordered 6 2.5" harddrives from a laptop repair shop in Ireland on eBay that should arrive any day ✨ again, trying to reduce e-waste here :)

Ever accidentally blow away your /boot partition?

dpkg -S /boot

will list what packages were written there. then you can do an 'apt-get --reinstall install <pkgs>' to fix it... This is Debian. Probably similarly for pacman, apk, emerge, etc.

So, why do I mention this?

Was replacing a failed drive (md RAID 1 root) in my garage "Artoo" unit and was duping the partitions from working to new ssd.

I guess I dd'ed the new empty /boot to the old working /boot. I was aiming for the UEFI partition...

Big dummy! LOL

Oh well. No one died, move along, nothing to see here. System is back up again now and in sleep mode for the rest of the night.
