[tde-users] Re: Partitioning advice sought

Anno domini 2024 Tue, 3 Sep 08:54:52 -0700 Mike Bird via tde-users scripsit: I don't know how you use LVM exactly, but the usual RAID problems apply: without redundancy a single dying drive kills your filesystem. The only sane form of redundancy is a mirror with read and write verification over all drives, MD does not do this, nor does any of these snakeoil "hardware RAID controllers". That's where ZFS comes in and shines. That's where linux looses big to FreeBSD: no ZFS OOTB for linux - there are projects that care less for license issues, but you are on your own. So ... either ZFS on linux with traditinal mirrored boot/root and "manually" compiled zfs or FreeBSD for storage. That said, I don't use ZFS on linix: it bite me quite hard on my test setups when kernel got updated and the ZFS module did not compile - guess the fun not beeing able to accees my data.
