@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.

@Dashrender said in ZFS is Perfectly Safe on Hardware RAID: @scottalanmiller said in ZFS is Perfectly Safe on Hardware RAID: @Dashrender said in ZFS is Perfectly Safe on Hardware RAID: @scottalanmiller said in ZFS is Perfectly Safe on Hardware RAID: @Pete-S said in ZFS is Perfectly Safe on Hardware RAID: @Obsolesce said in ZFS is Perfectly Safe on Hardware RAID: @scottalanmiller said in ZFS is Perfectly Safe on Hardware RAID: @Obsolesce said in ZFS is Perfectly Safe on Hardware RAID: Hardware RAID controllers should not be used with ZFS This part is obviously just BS. They even have this details list of reasons that if you study it, none of them would result in this conclusion. So this is where the "someone writing the docs through in a little unwarranted opinion" without anything substantiating it. In older docs, this was wrapped with a qualifying statement that includes "if you want ZFS to handle some of these functions." It looks like someone who didn't understand the source document copied what everyone things is the implication, but isn't at all, and missed their own technical details. I'm not following the context here... I didn't say what you quoted me saying. In a scenario where one wants to use ZFS as a LVM and software RAID, that is why I said to use HBA on hardware, rather than a RAID card: You would NOT want to use a hardware RAID card and use either passthrough disks or set each disk as a RAID 0. You should use an HBA instead, for ZFS' LVM and software RAID use. What's the difference here? A RAID card is just like a pure HBA but with RAID logic. The problem is, many RAID cards won't turn off the RAID logic and encapsulation. Hence the need for RAID 0, which could shield the actual drive from ZFS, I'm guessing. No, needing RAID 0 is the thing I'm talking about. The RAID is still there, hence "can't turn it off." That is what I was saying - the RAID is still there.. it's a RAID 0.. where HBA wouldn't have RAID at all. The disk is just presented as a disk. Many RAID cards do that, too. It is really just one popular one that doesn't let you, AFAIK.

@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.
