@perry_mitchell makes sense tho I personally tens to just start with like smaller drives and consistently grow the pool as more storage is available...

• Granted I usually have to provide more resilient stuff that can't really downtime, so RAID-Z3 / #ZRAID in #ZFS is a necessity alongside #MultiVendor - Diversity strategy...

But then again I don't think you're used to having to comply with #finance and #healthcare regulations or would even consider said system outside a #HomeLab or other non-critical setup where #downtime is a mere inconvenience...

• And that's totally fine: Noones gonna setup an entire proxmox cluster just to spin up some storage...

@budley @nixCraft depends.

#ZFS's volume manager and #ZRAID subsystem is extremely powerful.

#btrfs is the reinterpretation of said paradigms.

@pspinler @nixCraft same for me...

#dmraid is very much awesome, tho I'd rather go with #ZFS's #ZRAID whenever possible...

@acb #funfact: A lot of high-availability and scalable architectures implement #GracefulDegradation based upon their #design and #settings...

For example #ZFS / #OpenZFS's #ZRAID or #Ceph as well as as most clustered and/or distributed computing.

@atarifrosch AUE!

Ich selbst plane zukünftig nur noch #ZFS #ZRAID-2 bzw. ZRAID-3 bzw. #Linux #dmraid10 zu deployen, weil letzteres wie nen RAID 5 dynamisch wachsen kann...
