@scottalanmiller said in macOS 10.13 High Sierra Coming with APFS Filesystem:

So for those using APFS, how is it looking now that you've had a few weeks with it?

Nothing noticeably different.

@marcinozga said in Reiser4 Update for Linux:

Um, I don't know how I really feel about it. Reiser was mediocre file system to begin with, XFS was much better in every possible use case, and still is. If anything, they should rename the damn thing, having a name after murderer is never a good thing.

ReiserFS was really great at handling massive numbers of tiny files. That was its strong suit. It was good enough that Suse used it by default.

New build? Create the "admin" account that will "own" the share.
Then use rsync to upload everything.
Then use the occ command to rescan the directory.

@momurda said in Testing Filesystem Performance under Linux 4.11 of XFS, BtrFS, F2Fs and EXT4:

ext4 still the defaults on Debian distro as well.

Well Debian, sure. Not surprised there. Fuddy duddy distro 😉

@jaredbusch said in How Does Fedora 25 Split Large Filesystems:

If you type some large number in the box for the / partition and then click the update button, it auto sizes to max.

Yeah, that's how I got it to say 144.84. If I did it myself, it'd be a nice round number.

Ya with a preallocated qcow2 I can get pretty close to raw speeds. No one is going to notice 10MB/s or even 20 in normal settings.

@tjatwood109 said in ZFS is Perfectly Safe on Hardware RAID:

@scottalanmiller

Thanks - I will proceed without using ZFS - I prefer hardware RAID.

Tim

ZFS is perfectly fine with hardware RAID, if you like ZFS' features otherwise (like zsend is nice) then there's no reason to avoid it. If you don't plan to use any unique features, then XFS is my "go to" choice by default. Very fast, very stable.

@Tim_G thanks

Veeam just announced this week that they now consider ReFS to be ready for production use for the first time due to last week's WIndows Server patch that addressed some ReFS issues.

Not really. I'll do it in a few years when it's time to upgrade disks. But most of that will end up in Amazon Cloud Drive soon.

I would recommend looking at StarWind SA for example.
That solution fits your requirements perfectly, it will also provide you with HA storage that will ensure the business continuity.
As for support, they offer a single point of contact no matter what issue you face, plus the system will be shipped to your site fully preconfigured and pretested.

Ah I think that I knew that. Although I don't feel like I've seen his alter ego much either.
