Just published Part 2 of my FreeBSD Foundationals series: ZFS - The Last Filesystem You'll Ever Need.
From preventing silent data corruption to time-traveling with .zfs snapshots and automating backups with sanoid/syncoid.

Part 2 of the FreeBSD Foundationals series is out! "ZFS - The Last Filesystem You'll Ever Need."
We go from the philosophy of silent data corruption to practical, battle-tested data management. Covers pools, datasets, why you shouldn't blindly add L2ARC, native encryption, and using […]
SaaS made infrastructure easy but vendor lock-in daunting.
Open source restores control: source access, multi-vendor support, flexible upgrades, and safe migrations with ZFS snapshots and replication. Cloud isn’t the problem. Dependency is.

There is a silver lining to the whole #python #chardet debacle. If it is legal to throw a pile of code at an LLM, and tell it to write a new version of that code that is not a derivative then that gives us a lot of options too.

Current task - cloning a prod server to a dev one:
zfs send -vRc zroot/bastille@toSend00 | mbuffer -m 2G | ssh root@VPNIP "zfs receive zroot/bastille"
Done.

Nice. I just noticed the #zrepl project updated their Go dependencies in the recent 0.7.0 release. Tooling with earlier versions was getting long in the tooth. #zfs

European organizations are under increasing pressure to maintain true data sovereignty.

Running Proxmox on ZFS? ARC and L2ARC sizing matters more than most configs.
Our latest article explains how ARC and L2ARC really work, what not to do, and how to size them properly for Proxmox workloads.

Using zfs rewrite -P lets you rewrite data logically, applying updated properties or allocation behavior without re-replicating unchanged blocks. That means less I/O, and faster operations when rebalancing or updating datasets.

TIL, #ZFS Boot Menu is a thing: docs.zfsbootmenu.org/en/v3.1.x/
No Arch instructions, not surprising really; I really should be using something else. Looks like there's an AUR package if that's your thing.
Oh geez, I was going crazy trying to update my #archlinux file server, only to realize ArchZFS.com repo's were considered deprecated end of 2024. 🤯Update your #zfs arch repo if you haven't already.

Friday evening + homelab VM + bad ideas = RHEL 9.7 on ZFS root.
I patched convert2rhel until it stopped saying no. Red Hat support will not be hearing about this.

A new version of check_zpools, an #opensource #monitoring plugin for ZFS Pools, is available.
The latest release comes with an important enhancement. The check is now capable of detecting and alerting when a spare drive is in use in a #ZFS Pool.

For Proxmox workloads, pool and VDEV topology is the architecture.
Mirrors vs RAID-Z, SLOG, ARC/L2ARC, and recordsize choices define VM performance, resiliency, and failure behavior. We break down how to design ZFS pools that actually match Proxmox workloads.👇
