anyone here who thinks ext4 is good enough? idek why btrfs is considered so useful, it doesn't really do anything that most people will need, even hsg people
>>108415155You can format your vm disks as ext4. After all they're on top of zfs and you don't need to double up on proper file systems.

how is this possible?Pic related, so I added another drive to MD0, 1, 2 to grow my arrayduring grow it failed half way through the sync. So I did mdadm --faulty and then remove the drive so my array was degraded.Later on I readd it to the md0, 1, 2 and it syncs and says "clean" so I'm like ok great it added fine and didn't fail.But then when I went to read some old files on my array I get BTRFS saying IO error because of data corruption for some files. So I did faulty + remove the drive I just added in, and now btrfs says the file is fine and no more IO errors. How does MDADM do this to me? Does it not check if the drive is ok when it syncs the additional drive?
>>108415540also I guess maybe it reused the same write-intent bitmap on readding it so maybe that might have caused it? but data inconsistancy shouldn't happen because I readded a failed drive on a raid6 arrayif I didn't use BTRFS I wouldn't have found out the core issuemy torrent client kept crashing because of io errors then btrfs told me there was corruption
>>108415155use whatever file system does what you want it to do.ext4 is cool because it has built in encryption and can be used with systemd-homed for user home directory encryption. That's where I use it. That's all I use it for.
>>108415761he sounds gay
I'm going to use 8 4TB drives from 2008 in raid z1 and no one can stop me.
>>108414793 That's such a small pool, lol.
so im going to host some gayming servers and dont want to have open ports on my firewall for every instance.did some searching and came to the conclusion i have the following options:>reverse proxypro: its all under my controllcon: renting a vps is not cheap>tunneling serverPro: easy to set up without a lot of maintenance. cheap compared to a VPS and some are free aslong you dont need much bandwith and things like a domain.Con: cant see what whappens on that machine and most advanced features are paywallednot sure what to choose but my prefrence for now goes out to the tunneling service, so ido you guys have any suggestions i could consider?
>>108416251just open the ports, idk what you think adding a middleman computer that just forwards the ports to the same place
>>108412514>>108413460>>108416250i have a bunch of extra drives and extra pc parts, basically all i would need is a case, mobo, cpu, though i do have an unopened i7 67k i could use but idk how ok that would be, all the files are going to come from torrents off private trackers and i would also like it to just seed 24/7
>>108416318>idk what you think adding a middleman computermainly to hide my ip
>>108416345>i7 67kshould be more than enough, my truenas box has 7x18TB drives and runs on an old dell poweredge t310 with a Xeon X3460 and has no problem saturating a 2.5Gb ethernet connection.I put a PCIe card in the poweredge, though I did have to try a few different chipsets before finding one that was supported in truenas core and wouldn't crash the system (BSD doesn't really do device drivers like other systems, stuff is either supported or not)I run qbittorrent (and some other stuff) off one of these beelink mini-pcs from amazon, I paid like $200 for it but that was before prices for everything blew up, now they're like $350-$500https://www.truenas.com/docs/core/13.0/gettingstarted/corehardwareguide/guide recommends 8GB of RAM minimum but even 4 should be OK, you only need lots of RAM for running deduplication, which isn't a problem in my case anywaysupposedly ECC doesn't matter but my old server uses it anywayone thing to keep in mind is that downloading torrents directly to the array will kill performance, I got a $12 nvme PCIe adapter and threw a cheap 4TB nvme drive on it and use that as a write cache, then have qbit move completed torrents to the array after downloading.guide recommends a PCIe HBA card for array disks flashed to passthrough mode, I got one for $30 on ebay and flashed it myself, was easy and fun learning experience. I use two old 120GB sata SSDs in a mirrored array for the system drive through the mobo sata portstheoretically you can run qbit directly on the truenas box through jails (or I think it's called "Apps" on SCALE) but I could never get it to work, also has a couple limitations I didn't like, namely you'd have to use the qbit webUI to interact with it, and I use protonVPN which I wasn't sure how to setup without running the windows app and setting the VPN adapter/IP as the qbit interface (they don't give you just a HTTP/SOCKS info to input into qbit directly)
