Considering #ZFS is … inflexible.
My backup storage/NAS will probably end up being Debian, Cockpit and Ceph on a single node.
Gives me all the options: Double/Triple-copy, and EC with one or two parity blocks - all on the same machine.

#Ceph is the #Linux equivalent of #StorageSpacesDirect on #Windows.

@AliveDevil in what way is ZFS inflexible when you limit yourself to a single node only? 🤔

@noctarius2k I can't have Parity, Dual/Triple Replication at the same time, on the same set of drives.
With Ceph I can just create a pool, define it's resiliency and replication settings, and Ceph will manage that on its own.

@AliveDevil not exactly sure what you mean, you can't have parity on the same set of drives. If you don't want parity (which is not a good idea), just make it a plain stripe instead raidz1.

@AliveDevil ahhh forget it. "can't have" as in "not being able to decide between" 👍
