How are you going to back this up? Do you have any tape storage on site? Every NAS we have here at chatterbeak.com we have x2 so we can have two copies on-site, and an offsite cloud backup.

Other than the lie of 2 systems 1 Petabyte, this seems awesome!

Also I'm probably not the only one who wants to see the archived video, dell xps 13 cringe worthy, you need to release this old never before seen videos on the float plane club.

I would be really interested in the specifics of the ZFS setup being used, and the CPU and other specs in those servers.

 

I'm using a 15 bay SAS enclosure with WD Red 8 TB drives in what will most likely be a RAID-Z3 with Ubuntu 16.04.

 

ZFS isn't simple conceptually so kudos to whoever in the LMG is wrapping their heads around it!

@LinusTech I've run a small NAS with ZFS for a couple of years, mainly using OmniOS. I'm now using SmartOS to be bale to run VMs on it as well. I would suggest looking at OmniOS if you want to keep it as pure file server with ZFS. I don't trust this ZFS on Linux business as it's not a pure implementation of ZFS (limited options to import the pool to other OSs), could be some performance punishments as well.

 

Also consider mirrored vdevs to get better performance (and faster re-silvering time if a drive fails). Would be interesting to see some comparison benchmarks between OmniOS/NexentaStor/ZFS on Linux!

 

Nice video btw!

Considering what happened to the Whonnock Server, I would have thought this time around you guys might have gone with a SAN, using ZFS (doesn't have to be ZFS, anything similar also works) which has RAID 6 arrays connected to it to maximise data safety, integrity, prevent bit rot, and avoid a disaster when a raid card dies. I know SUSE Enterprise has a software defined storage solution that is based on Ceph so you can expand storage later by clustering new storinators as you add them. If you want to try this setup. I don't work for SUSE, I have played around with some of their software before and think its really good.

 

edit: added (doesn't have to be ZFS, anything similar also works)
