Anyone know if there is something equally simplistic and universal than LVM that allows for storage policies?
Aka. instead of needing equally sized disks to get something like RAID-5/6 but with an arbitrary amount of drives in arbitrary sizes? (Without the capacity capping).
For now say like I'd have something silly like this:
4x 5 TB
2x 20 TB
20x 1 TB
1x 500 GB
+ change
Goal:
* Encryption at rest
* Tolerates 2 drive failures without any dataloss at all (by more partial)
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?
Thanks and here I thought I was just too dumb to configure it properly last time I tried.
Yea, have heard that, same for GlusterFS. However I neither was able to find anything about unequally sized disks in their documentation nor was I able to find anyone running such a configuration already.
Are you running such a configuration right now?
