    Ah yes. My storage system is 2 x Supermicro CSE-846 cases. Only one as a CPU and motherboard, the other is acting as a plain Jane JBOD.

    Hard drives I have 21 x 8TB 7200RPM mix of Seagate and Western Digital and 4 x 16TB 7200RPM from Seagate. I use mergerfs and snapraid. Mergerfs presents all the 21 8TB drives as one mount point. Snapraid uses the 4 16TB drives to provide 4 parity drives. Note that snapraid is not live and the parity is only updated after running a “snapraid sync” which I run nightly.

    I only backup my songs and music videos. The rest is easy to get again. I have a script that generates a list of every single file I have each night. So if the day comes it wouldn’t take too long to get back to where I was. The other reason I use mergerfs is if 1 drive dies, I only lose the files on that one drive and not the entire array. The truely important stuff such as tax documents, mortgage details, family pictures, will & estate documents are stored on a 2 x 8TB RAID1 and all backed up nice a safe using Proxmox PBS. The PBS datastore is synced to 2 remote locations as well as to external drives that I keep offline and rotate.













  • F$&kin’ EH!

    During the Cheeto stained felons first term we started cutting back on US products. Still bought fruits and veg from California or other blue states. We also refused to travel to the US for personal trips.

    This time. We’ve stopped buying anything from the US or from companies that are owned by companies that are US based. Now we refuse to travel to the US for any reason. It’s going to take them DECADES!! to recovery from this clusterf$&k.
