Mirrors: 2 way, 3 way and 1 way (which isn’t really a mirror).There are two major, and several minor, kinds of vdevs:.Instead, I must create a pool, add 2 disks as a mirror, then the next two, and so on.Ĭonceptually, I find this a bit annoying but it is what it is. That is, I can’t have 6 disks and create 3 mirrored vdevs. In practice, I understand that is a bad idea (so don’t copy the diagam above).īecause ZFS is pool centric, you cannot create a vdev without also adding it to a pool. In theory, this means ZFS can have a pool made up from mirrors and RAID-Z.

ZFS implements redundancy within vdevs (you pair individual disks together in mirrors).

Storage Spaces implements redundancy at the pool level (you make a “mirror” pool, throw disks at it, and Storage Spaces figures out how to allocate data such that required redundancy is met). My own point of reference is Microsoft Storage Spaces, which is different at this point. Mirrors, parity, RAID-Z all happens in vdevs, not in pools (although pools are aware of the redundency, and use it to their advantage). It’s also where all the meaningful redundency is implemented. The vdev is the fundamental ZFS unit of storage. In any case, the pool is the main thing you work with in ZFS: disks go into a pool to provide underlying storage, and a file system is presented on top of that pool.īut the pool is the main “thing”. Or perhaps “pool centric” is the right term. I’d go as far as saying that ZFS is a “pool orientated file system”. That is, ZFS is a way to pool lots of disks together and present them as a logical file system to your OS. You put them in a pool and ZFS does some magic to manage them all.įinally, there’s a file system presented on top of that. Wikipedia’s ZFS page has a surprisingly good conceptual description of vdevs and pools.

There isn’t enough detail in there for a full conceptual understanding, but its a good place to start. The FreeBSD handbook gives a useful glossery of ZFS concepts. I’ll be making notes as I go along, and reference relevant sections. You can see the material I’m basing this article on at the bottom, under References.

The retiring of old disks with larger ones.

A simulated disk failure and replacement.

Once I’ve got my head around the concepts, I’ll be doing practical tests on K2SO, including: I’m open to using FreeNAS for other machines, if its simpler. K2SO is running Debian Stretch, which is where I’ll be experimenting. However, because it’s in service, it’s lowest priority.

This has 4 x 1TB spinning disks, is currently running Windows and uses Storage Spaces for redundancy.

Converting my existing media and file server to Linux.

Effectively, a custom NAS, probably with 2 x 6TB spinning disks. Something which can be an off-site backup, but still within my city.

My recent K2SO server, which has 2 old 250GB spinning disks, and a 128GB SSD.

I have three concrete systems I’d like to deploy ZFS to, in order of readiness:

Any maintenance tasks that need to happen.

How to replace a failed disk in an array.

How to add new disks to an existing array.

Any gotchas I need to be aware of - and how to avoid them.

The building blocks of ZFS, and how they fit together.

Goalĭevelop an understanding of the following: While I’m aware there are various “run these 5 commands and you’ll have ZFS running on your machine” articles out there.Īnd to have some documentation available when a disk inevitably fails. In particular, any best practices, gotchas, and (most of all) what to do when a disk fails and I need to replace it. So before before I put it into production, I’d like to get a good understanding of how it works. # Description: Starts the syncthing daemon for all registered users.I’d like to take advantage of its resiliency, protection against bit-rot, and maybe even some extra performance. # Short-Description: Multi-user daemonized version of syncthing. Optionally, delete any folder used with syncthing. To remove syncthing use $ sudo rm -r /opt/syncthing If there's a new version of syncthing, use $ sudo syncthing -upgrade GUI -> Settings -> Disable Automatic updates

On a PC in the same network, go to the GUI and disable automatic updates. Start the syncthing service $ sudo service syncthing start Make sure you use https and enable authentication!

OPTIONAL: if you forward port 8384 (or any port you would like to use) on your router to you pi, you can access the GUI from anywhere in the world as long as you know you home(public) IP address.

Write down this number or copy it if you SSH'd to your pi.Ĭhange the config file so you can access the GUI from any PC within the network $ nano ~/.config/syncthing/config.xml Wait until you get something like: INFO: Device 7NNIJMJ-RQ657WA-RI5YH6L-RQ657WA-RQ657WA-VGKSUYP-U6QBJNA-RQ657WA #Run install_syncthing.sh $ curl -s | sudo bash
