How do you manage your shares?

I was comparing Proxmox and Unraid. I had ruled out TrueNAS because it only supports ZFS. I was wrong about the RAM for ZFS, but another issue is that it doesn’t support different disk sizes

Indeed, it wasn’t clear that it was how it worked. That seems better than the cache/mover system from Unraid.

Another point as to why I didn’t consider ZFS, is that it only works with disks having the same capacities. As I will be adding disks over time, I think I will be wasting disk space

Ok thanks.

Do you use anything to manage disk failure?

Thanks I wasn’t sure if this was a possibility

Oh ok I wasn’t sure about this. But I think TrueNAS only supports ZFS and this would be an issue on my system

Thanks, I’ve seen Incus have an online demo, this is nice, I’ll give it a try.

For BTRFS, if I understand correctly, I can have a similar result as mergerfs if I use SINGLE. But as RAID5/6 is unstable it seems I would still need snapraid, or am I missing something?

Don’t I need mergerfs and snapraid with BTRFS?

Also it’s not clear what LXD/Incus replaces? Is it Promox or Promox + OMV?

Ok, this is good to know!

On the N100, they say the max support is 16GB RAM. If you were looking for at least 32GB, it may not be an option anymore

Actually I wanted to have a NAS and another more powerful server. But this is because I thought NAS were some cheap basic servers… When I saw the price I thought I might as well have a single more powerful server doing NAS + transcoding. I haven’t made my mind up, I’ll check the Lenovo Tiny, thanks

Thanks, 30W while idling and 40W~ while in use seems really fine!
