🧵 n/n 👀 see thread, above

Mistral small 3, via duck.ai / #duckduckgo seems to produce similarly useful results.

ZFS compression seems to be a localhost kinda matter, regardless of the role of localhost in the network - zfs set compression on ALL the localhosts, i guess! 😉

#Linux #ZFS #replication #compression

@mgerdts thank you! 🖖🤓

EDIT: #Copilot/incognito seems to have found the blog of @dvl 👍 - another knowledgeable ZedFS guy, and lovely nice Canadian, afaik! 🥰🤓 (I DO have a knack for Canadians, and Aussies, and Kiwis.. 🤣 - i'm from DE/EU, btw.) #ZFS

🧵 2/n this is actually rather undesirable, because tank on elitedesk is a spinning HDD mirror, which would greatly benefit from writing compressed data!

Oof, re-writing 900+GB will take a while, but i think it'll be worth it, @allanjude.

I think i'll have to create the backup DS, then SET compression (perhaps on its parent?), and THEN replicate.

EDIT: would -w/-W RAW help? It's not encrypted, but would it help?

#ZFS #Linux #replication #backup

Oh my, how unexpected! 👀
Now i'm curious!

#ZFS #compression settings don't seem to get replicated, via zfs send/recv?

My intention was zstd-fast compression on both sides - the working copy (um780xtx) AND the replication/backup target (elitedesk).

I kinda don't want to bother @allanjude, again - he's likely busy enough, dealing with more important stuff, than some internet rando's #Steam library backups. 🤣 (👀 img alt txt) (edit: 🧵 1/n)

Regarding the Zoned UID feature for rootless container support for #ZFS

Ready for re-review feeling nostalgic . I know my brother Winston Williams would be excited. Not sure we ever had a Solaris system. It was a little out of our budget. But Winston had a SUN Microsystems monitor.

Add UID-based dataset zoning for rootless container support by li-nkSN · Pull Request #18167 · openzfs/zfs

This implements zoned_uid - a ZFS property that grants visibility of a dataset to any user namespace owned by a specific UID. Usage: zfs set zoned_uid=1000 pool/dataset This solves the chicken-and-...

Media Server/Jellyfin

Hello

I’m very much so a beginner when it comes to servers, linux and ZFS, so please bare with me.

I have a server I had created back in 2020 and it’s worked good (enough) but I wanted to get a more robust understanding of my setup, see where improvements can be made or figure out which things will be issues that I have to be aware of.

Current Setup:
i7-9700k
RTX 2060
64GB 2666 (non-ECC) (I thought I had 128GB but looking looking at the specs of my mobo, I’m at work currently, it says it caps out at 64GB)
LSI 9300-16i
4TB (x8) WD Enterprise (media)
512GB nvme (OS)
1000W PSU

OS info:
Ubuntu (not remembering if I’m using 22 or 24)
ZFS Raidz1
Jellyfin

I don’t do much else on the server, I also don’t use containers (I haven’t learned much about them and haven’t felt like it would be needed, yet). I’ve restarted the server more than once either do to running a command that broke something or running an update that somehow corrupted the kernel and I couldn’t figure out how to get everything running smoothly. I say that to say, re-imaging hasn’t been a slow process (outside of re-doing my jellyfin config setup).

Questions I have:

  • I don’t run my server 24/7, only when I want to watch something. Is it hurting my drives/server that I don’t have it on all day? The fact that I turn it on and off more than once a week?
  • I know that I benefit from ECC RAM but would I benefit greatly from upgrading my CPU, RAM speeds or even using ECC, for my use case?
  • Are there any commands worth looking into that improve the quality of the server or ZFS? I have set up my compression a certain way (again, at work, so I don’t fully remember how to verbalize that at the moment).
  • Is it worth creating a scratch disk for my server (I have extra drives, SSD drives as well, SATA ports as well as ports on the PCIe card)
  • Should I think about improving my GPU? At the moment, I live alone, so I never stream more than 1 device at a time. For what I have, is the only benefit for the streams? It seems to do 4K DV with DTS Master HD just fine on certain films.
  • Are there more inexpensive GPU’s worth looking at if the 2060 ever shits the bed or I need to repurpose it for anything? My main concern is streaming 4K DV and being able to handle any audio channels each movie/tv show has (I only use 5.1 systems at the most). I have gotten conflicting information on what minimum GPU is needed for do all of that with no issues.
  • Is my 1000W PSU overkill for everything I have? Is anything else on my build overkill for my use case?

    Practical ZFS

    Some people said ZFS in the past, but is anyone else actually running something silly like this and knows for sure that it works with ZFS?
