plötzlicher gedanke heute nachmittag:

wait a minute! ich hab ja noch die ganz alte 860 1TB m.2 sata 💡
ich formatier die doch mit #btrfs, setze zst:3 kompression und kopiere das gerettet nvme image mit #rsync da drauf
mit der kompression sollte 1TB image auf 1TB speicher passen (und wenn nicht hab ichs wenigstens versucht)
falls es klappt kann ich dann wenigstens vorübergehend meine windows vm von dem image starten bis replacement da ist
(mein ganzes entertainment setup ist da drauf 🙈 )

#linux ist einfach der geilste scheiss dens gibt!

Can I frankenRAID a 500GB. SSD into three 128GB. logical devices using BTRFS? I think this is possible by creating partitions that are each ⅓ of the SSD & adding each partition to a RAID in BTRFS. My end goal is four 128GB. USB 3 flash drives, one 128GB. microSD card, & three 128GB. logical devices on the 500GB. SSD, for a total of six real devices & eight logical devices. I also wonder if I can make a BTRFS array of two 64GB. flash drives & create a 128GB. file filling both & use that file as a ninth logical device for the main array.

I'm trying to combine several 128GB. devices into a RAID0 & I would like to be able to get extra storage by adding three logical devices from inside an extra SSD I have. I would just buy a single SSD that's big enough (1TB. to 2TB.) but storage is very expensive & this is only temporary.

#BTRFS #Linux

Was playing with my system and upgraded to NixOS 25.11.

I finally made some changes:

* BTRFS from ext4 for my filesystems using disko.
* snapper for my /home snapshotting.
* zswap for swapping.
* I use gtk and qt themes setup provided by home manager.
* I use dconf more to set up my GNOME configurations and shell extensions.
* Finally enabled xdg.userDirs with my home manager.
* Personal configuration file linking with home.file for my emacs and nano.
* Enabled Plymouth with my preferred theme.
* Modularized my configurations from a single file. Is far from cohesive yet but I'm still learning nix and the ecosystem.

Here's my nixos configs if you're curious to see: https://github.com/cloudyluna/dotfiles/tree/main/nixos

Since version 6.1 it's possible to create the swapfile in a single command (except the activation):
# btrfs filesystem mkswapfile --size 2G swapfile
# swapon swapfile

#btrfs #swapfile #swap #linux #ram

The ultimate #NAS-setup is a single-node #Ceph, is that correct?
#ZFS can't rebalance data (unless using dangerous rewriting)
#BTRFS shouldn't RAID5.
#LVM can't rebalance data.

#CephFS is able to mix and match any number of striping, mirroring and erasure coding on the same set of hard drives.

Windows Storage Spaces is LVM in better, but CephFS makes all of this available on Linux. Have I missed any FS that is as flexible as either, Storage Spaces or CephFS?
