Hello everyone!
After my Helios4 had been laying in a cardboard box for a long time after moving houses, I decided it was time to once again set it up as an NAS.
I was previously running Open Media Vault (OMV) with 4 disks in xfs and using MergerFS for unionizing three of them at a single mount point and then using Snapraid for the fourth disk.
OMV worked pretty well for me but I go somewhat irritated from time to times because how it decides to thing in it's own way.
But now I when I re-installed it (after getting a new PSU) I went with Armbian instead to keep it closer to "standard" linux.
I think I will still go with MerverFS and Snapraid this time also but I also wonder what you guys and gals are using!
For example:
- What filesystem are you using? xfs, btrfs or maybe zfs?
- Are you running raid, mergerfs or something else?
- How are making the storage avalible to other hosts? NFS, SSHFS?
- Are you running some kind of admin UI to manage your Helios?
