Kribbstar Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 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? 0 Quote
FredK Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 @Kribbstar Some facts from my configuration, in general: Nothing fancy here. OS: Linux 5.15.89-mvebu + Armbian 22.11.4 (up-to-date) NAS: OMV 6.2.0 + omvextrasorg 6.1.1 (up-to-date) + RAID5 (4 * 8TB WD Red) Filesystems: type=ext4*, 3 fs, one of them LUKS-encrypted Shared foldes (5) provided bei SMB/CIFS omv-extras: docker, portainer, yacht Container: nextcloud (supported by nextclouddb and swag) Backup: a) SD-card cloning, b) rsync ext4*: I started with ext4 because of no own experience with btrfs, zfs, ... But because the configuration is stable and sufficiently responsive, I stayed with ext4. Any further information you are interested in? 0 Quote
