Could not agree more with @jimsalter take on “a primrose path to hell” on the new AnyRAID ZFS feature in the latest @25admins
Just seems like an idea preying on those who think they need it before fully understanding that they probably shouldnt! And encourages people to use a bag of random drives more likely to get them in trouble.
Uhm, i've just spent 2x300 bucks on a new 18TB #ZFS mirror - fancy Toshiba MG09 HDDs!
And now, social media tells me about #AnyRaid? How's that supposed to work?
One can't possibly mix too-dissimmilar capacities, and expect proper redundancy - you'd need at least 3 HDDs to make it make anywhere near sense - seems a bit rough!
You get 3 HDDs of wattage, but only 1 can fail - is that the deal - at WHICH capacity ratios?
Someone needs to Zed-splain #HexOS AnyRaid - on YT! #homelab #nas #server
