ZFS Storage Cluster with Windows .vhdx I am still collecting concepts on how to combine Windows with its special features and ZFS in my napp-it cs web-gui to create something really special. Based on the current knowledge state, it seems that SMB directl on ReFS partitions represents the...

Newly discovered problems with file rename, robocopy and rclone, https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/openzfs/issues This shows that it is essential that many are testing the release candidates that becomes better and better to find and report remaining problems.

Took me two days to find out how to add a few selected disks to a Windows Storage Pool and How to list them per pool Add-Physicaldisk -StoragePoolFriendlyName xx -Usage $usage -PhysicalDisks (Get-PhysicalDisk | \?{"$n".Contains(\$_.uniqueid)}) list Get-PhysicalDisk -StoragePool (Get-StoragePool...

napp-it cs dev, Jun 21 I have added bsic support for Windows Storage Spaces with menus Pools > Windows Storagepools > Create/Extend Filesystems > Windows Storagespaces > Create/ Destroy

Basically a Storage Pool is not a Raid like ZFS that you can create or destroy. You just define that some disks build a group where you can place virtual disks onto.Per virtual disk, you can define redundancy, striping, tiering Tor thin/thick provisioning independently from other virtual...

In the end, only ReFS will be able to find and repair corrupted datablocks as this requires data/metadata checksums. So let's hope for ReFS on any Windows (or a stable ZFS on Windows)

I suppose the problem is that the old SSD has a physical blocksize if 512B and the new one 4K. This is not compatible in a replace/add situation, only the other way is possible (add a 512B disk to a 4K one with a slight loss of capacity). Workaround: Create a new pool from new SSD with ashift...

Market Share is related to marketing not technical state of the art features. This is why they do not adopt the two main advantages of modern filesystems like self healing filesystems due checksum checks on data errors (They can't beside Metadata unless btrfs raid is stable on higher raid...

Do you use Storage Spaces on Windows? While Windows Poolmanagement is ultra flexible there are some points to consider if you want it be fast: - Avoid Parity Raid on Spaces, use Basic, Mirror or Raid 10 alike settings - Prefer thick provisioning over thin provisioning - Format Spaces with...

As a "Linux" TrueNAS is very inflexible as a lot of features are locked inside the web-gui. Avoid settings from console as I have seen when I tried TrueNAS as a member of my ZFS Web-GUI with User, ZFS or Share settings. Proxmox on the other is ultra flexible with a very good VM handling and not...

Questions like raid level redundancy, raid type or ECC RAM affects the question if you want to accept or minimize a certain risk for your data.How valuable are your data and what is your overall backup strategy. In the end there are the two main options: 1.) Data are not too valuable and for...

It is all about reducing risks. In the binary world there is no parallellism. Every io can be only sequential. Whenever a write transaction needs to update more than one adress you have dependent writes that must be done completely for the whole io to be valid, does not matter if it is a...

Journaling only helps if atomic writes (like writing a datablock + update metadata or write a raid stripe to all disks or both disks of a mirror) are done completely and this is not guaranteed on a sudden crash during write unless the filesystem is Copy on Write that can handle such a situation...

Since there is now ZFS on Windows 2.2.3rc5 that is already very promising with newest features like draid, realtime dedup, compress, encryption or Raid-z expansion with some remaning compatibility problems with other drivers like Aomei backupper, I have ported my user extendable ZFS Web-GUI from...

Only remaining problem. ZFS send is based on ZFS snaps. They are like a sudden powerloss. This can compromise filesystem consistency of a VM. A VM must be offline to be save or you need additional methods like integration of safe ESXi snaps in ZFS snaps.
