HN also drank the crypto-crap and NFT Kool-Aid. It's nice to see people able to not follow the groupthink.
This is like something my racist grandmother says when I tell her a historical fact and she says you can’t tell me all plantation owners are racist because you didn’t meet them all or something similar ridiculous.
People can make statements from experience. Claiming HN doesn’t love blogs is out of touch.
The statement being made is "Very anti-HN thinking to be posted here."
Rather than present useless analogies, engage with what's actually been presented. I didn't ask about your grandmother.
I guess I can’t make the statement that all HN users are not jerks.
Calling analogies useless because you won’t engage with others who disagree is rich.
I know some brilliant people, but, well, putting it kindly, they're as useful as a chocolate teapot outside of their specific area of academic expertise.
But if the file system is corrupt then you're hosed and end up with a `lost+found`. It sounds great until it fails, and then you realize why ZFS with replication makes sense. Unraid doesn't do automatic repairs from replicated ZFS datasets yet either even if you use individual ZFS disks within your Unraid array.
The cache pool is recommended to be mirrored for this reason (not many people see why I find this to be amusing).
> Increased perceived write speed: You will want a drive that is as fast as possible. For the fastest possible speed, you'll want an SSD
Great, now I have an SSD that is treated as a consummative and will die and need to be replaced. Oh and btw you are going to need two of them if you don't want to accidentally your data.
The alternative? Have the cache on a pair of spinning rust drives which will again be overloaded and are expected to fail earlier and need to be replaced while also having the benefit of being slow... But at least you won't have to go through a full rebuild after a cache drive failure.
Man, I am not sold on the cost savings of this approach at all... Let alone the complexity and moving parts that can fail...
It's only consumable if you hit the write limit. Hard drive arrays are usually not intended for tons of writes. SSDs $100 or less go up to at least 2000 terabytes written (WD Red SN700). How many hundreds of gigabytes of churn do you need per day?
Yes, Unraid can crash-and-burn in quite a lot of different ways. Ask me how I know! Why I'm all-in on ZFS now.
