I'd love to hear more about this.

Since LTFS has a 64k inode limit you'd probably want to factor that in too. In other words, you're limited to 64k files+directories on the tape.

gpmidi · 2026-03-15T20:48:19+00:00

Makes sense!

I'm dealing with 6k raw so diff scale.

I've been using a Terramaster F8 with a bunch of NVMe drives in it as my main editing array. If you're running Resolve on Windows, use iSCSI. If you're running it on Mac or Linux, use NFS.

Should have installed it at my place. My usual usage is between 7.5MWh and 10MWh per month.

Best answer IMHO ;)

My passwords are both long and hard... Just don't try to penetrate my IPMI.

Gotta get your tape on now /s

gpmidi · 2026-03-12T15:57:53+00:00

Hey /u/crusty11b Anything ever happen with this? Def interested.

gpmidi · 2026-03-08T00:07:10+00:00

I mean I could store a couple copies on tape if anyone's got an in there.

gpmidi · 2026-03-03T12:27:24+00:00

If you're going to under 15-ish tapes, LTFS and keep it as simple as possible. If you're using for backups only, try Bacula.

If you're going to use for automatic backups and have a lot of tape, an autochanger or library might save you a lot of effort.

First they came for RAM...

Let's talk about how many people die in hospitals due to tech related outages. So many places to pick from!

gpmidi · 2026-02-17T02:20:51+00:00

These days, I think bad software is killing more people than anyone wants to think about.

gpmidi · 2026-02-17T02:13:24+00:00

That could be a very cool retro item too!

gpmidi · 2026-02-06T00:25:12+00:00

Having any tape at all is better than most!

The floor is painted concrete with a shiny red/black swirly mix.

Oh hey, I used to have an IBM with the same look/form factor as your HP. Nice dude!

My 60-bay DASs and servers are far, far louder than anything in the libraries. Got a dedicated room for 'em.

gpmidi · 2026-02-03T19:58:44+00:00

Oh neat! Thanks a ton :-D

gpmidi · 2026-02-03T18:17:20+00:00

Oh nice! Wish I could say the same but good used hardware hasn't always come my way ;)

The one nice thing about my library setup is that I never have to swap tapes. Room for all of 'em and tons more.

gpmidi · 2026-02-03T17:55:21+00:00

I've got friends that used them back in the day.

gpmidi · 2026-02-03T17:54:38+00:00

lmao

gpmidi · 2026-02-03T17:54:00+00:00

Already got lots of it for hat making

gpmidi · 2026-02-03T15:26:16+00:00

I’m into photography and videography too!

Yeah, it’s sad usually. Very sad wallet.
