Today I have upgraded the cluster from 16GB of ram to 48GB of ram. And also I added a new 8TB HDD drive.
Today, I upgraded the cluster's RAM from 16GB to 48GB. I also added a new 8TB HDD.
Now I have an small problem all the media and random files inside the original HDD were inside a proxmox virtual qcow disk which
is just a disk file that all the other containers from the proxmox instance had mounted. Now with this new disk
I made a ZFS filesystem.
I do have a small issue: all the media and miscellaneous files on the original HDD were stored in a Proxmox virtual .qcow disk image, which is essentially just a file that all the other containers on the Proxmox host were mounted to. With this new disk, I created a ZFS filesystem.
The ZFS filesystem is great for servers. It has a lot of features like having on-write compression and decompression
and also it is very easy to add new disks to a "zpool" of disks.
ZFS is excellent for servers. It offers many useful features, such as on-the-fly compression and decompression, and it's very straightforward to add new drives to a ZFS pool.
Right now I'm copying all the files inside the old virtual .qcow disk file onto the new ZFS filesystem that I have made
on the new disk. When this finishes, I will wipe the old disk and add it to the ZFS pool.
Currently, I'm copying all the files from the old virtual .qcow disk image onto the new ZFS filesystem I created on the new drive. Once that's done, I'll wipe the old disk and add it to the ZFS pool.
For now it will be on RAID0. These disks are relatively new, so maybe in the far future (in about 3 years) I will consider
maybe making a RAID5. I think it should be easy, right?
For now, it'll be configured as RAID0. Since these disks are relatively new, I might consider switching to RAID5 in the distant future (around 3 years from now). I think that should be straightforward, right?
Anyways see ya
Anyway, see ya!
