That's talking about RAID56, not RAID5. That refers to the same source which talks about RAID56, not RAID5. Maybe they mean to say something like 'RAID5 and RAID6', but they don't, and if they do mean that, they should say so. Unless they clarify or someone knows for sure, the search remains...

A bunch of house owners probably would never get the required permissions. Maybe they could in Sweden, but try that in Germany. Just try to run a cable underneath a road --- and if you want to run miles of cable through forests you will have to do that. You won't get a permission because in...

I merely keep saying that 10GB switches are neither feasible to run at home because of their power consumption, nor required for what I'm doing, and that SFP+ brings a scaring amount of complications and additional costs about which I'd rather avoid. Cool, that's a nice find :) Shipping is...

Did you read the article? It only says that the btrfs tools started to print a warning about RAID5 years ago. The status may have changed since; and what happened to RAID5?

Twice I put 8x3.5" and 2x2.5" disks into HP Z820s, so I have an idea what "full" can mean :) There's even some room left but with all the cables it gets tedious. If your adapters supply power to all the drives at least you don't have so many power cables ... A drop of 15C is quite a lot...

Hi, I'm trying to find out what the current status of RAID5 in btrfs is. The documentation[1] only talks about RAID56, whatever that is. Did they remove RAID5, or what's the current status? [1]: Status — BTRFS documentation

Those are nice machines for learning :) I thought rust is a programming language.

Well, it's unheard of here that someone would run miles of fibre through some forest to connect some remote vacation house to the internet --- especially not for free. Even if you could get a permit to do it, you'd probably have to talk to all the land owners to get their permission, and when...

Cool, so what kind of server did you get?

And who's paying for all the fibre cables that are being put into the ground through many miles of forests? Yes, it's called VDSL. It seems that it doesn't go over 250MBit. It's difficult to find modems for it. They still haven't understood it and probably never will. Who cares about...

That something uses the same plug as something else doesn't mean that both are hotpluggable. If SATA is hot pluggable, does that mean that all backplanes support hotplugging it? I seem to remember to have seen in some videos that HP put stickers on some of their Microservers saying that the...

They should have picked a compatible license. That's not relevant when you're not using any of these systems and distributions. I guess zfs-fuse is sufficiently maintained in Fedora, but it's still using fuse, so it remains alien and merely a makeshift workaround. FreeBSD is cute, but their...

Yes, and RAID5 is badly missing in btrfs. No, Linux was there first. Oracle should have thought of that and picked a different license before anyone contributed.

I didn't say it's the only connector that may be usable to hot-plug SATA. I shut the system down before plugging SATA. I just checked and they were same price. Of course that may be true only for today, but last time I checked, SAS was much more expensive new and used. I have mixed results...

Btrfs is not finshed yet, so maybe it's not fair to compare it yet. It's a pity that ZFS suffers from licensensing issues. Ok but who has some kind of multipath setup with meter long SAS cables at home? Cool, I didn't know that! That even might explain some things I'm seeing and would be...

From what I've been reading you can't hotplug SATA unless you have SATA connectors designed for it. It's called E-SATA which uses connections designed to connect and disconnect the individual wires in the cable in a particular order. If you don't have those, you can get bad results. Perhaps...

Servers aren't so much designed for individual use, and the components are similar but very different. If you want to learn how to you use a server, get a server. Your old PC probably doesn't have any board management built in, doesn't have a lot of the components you'll find in a server, it...

Shipping is way too expensive: "Not specified" probably means you won't get it shipped at all. You have to look in Germany or at least in the EC. And keep in mind that I do need more than 24 ports. I don't want to run more than one switch because a 2nd one would at least double the power...

Those hedgehog coolers are works of art. How do I get one? My hair is kinda like that when it gets long ...

Initial setup? I installed the RPM package and the service was automatically started, and when I try to log in to my server it says it'll redirect me and nothing further happens. Do I need to do some kind of setup, and how would I do that?
