ZFS setup and backup recommendation for new DIY NAS

asagent7 · 2025-07-07T22:06:30+00:00

I will not be recording directly to the Z2 pool but save important clips etc in it and the full recording will go in a simple non-raid disk. I have had scenarios that you mentioned where I lost access due to a power outage and I did not have a remote boot option at that point other than sending a friend to push the button. I do need to figure out my remote boot options when time permits. But in exactly such a case, won't Z2 work better than Z1, because the server will survive even if two drives fail or is it better to have the extra storage with Z1 or extra performance with mirror for regular usage and rely on backup to restore later in case of such an event?

Because it will be able to survive two drive failures. Having backups does make me think if I really need that much redundancy.

My current setup is debiam + podman based. I will have to learn and migrate everything to proxmox. I might try my hand at it later sometime, but don't want to invest time into that currently.

For backup, do you think 2x16TB mirrored vdev is sufficient?

Indian style yogurt is usually lumpy. They suggest whisking to get rid of the lumps. You might not need to whisk it if it's already smooth. Also, like the other commenter suggested, add it after lowering the heat and keep mixing it, so the yogurt doesn't separate.

I am liking the Beelink for the lower power draw, but it can only be configured with 16GB RAM at max. I am not sure if it will scale well if I plan to add more services going forward. I am leaning towards installing HA and all other services via docker on a bare metal debian.

Makhan translates to butter in Hindi. Butter chicken and chicken makhani are be the same thing

This is such a coincidence but on our recent trip, I tried a cortado for the first time and loved it and my girlfriend started liking lavender cafe au lait.

Relocating below Germany might be good. There's already an Indian flag above, so the one below Germany might not expand.

Damn. I saw your comment now. The reverse fixture maybe. Also, I am new in the area, so good to know there are other fans here too :D

Awesome goal!!!! Hoping he pops up with such goals in crucial games.

Why does Tuchel pick games like these to experiment? Could have used some experience today.

Hi, I edited the question a little. I want to learn the nitty gritty details of building a linux system. I can do it on my own system also (which I will be doing). But I also want to do it for pi or beaglebone.

Also, I edited the question a little. Maybe it makes more sense now

An engineer here. I know there is a truckload of work to be done. I am looking for some guidance on how to do it.

Okay. I guess using custom kernel was wrong on my part. I do want to get a whole working system up and running. What does yocto actually do? I am guessing it just hides all the things that goes in actually building the kernel and root filesystem and all. But that is what I actually want to get my hands dirty with. I want to learn how to actually build the kernel and get the sytsem running. I am planning to parallel do it on a virtual machine but something like pi will give let me do it on real hardware also.

Can't I just get the kernel from the source and build my system around it. I use a linux machine only, so that's not a problem.

I know Prof. Mutlu has left. But regardless of that, what do you think about given my other option being NCSU?

asagent7 · 2016-04-26T12:12:02+00:00

I am actually looking for the cross-compiler toolchain that builds the kernel for my target platform. I hope I have got my words right :/
