BTRFS:
Well, if Red Hat, which pushed it BTRFS for so long drops it like a hot cake…
There are a lot of issues for BTRFS, if you read on the Web.
I only use BTRFS on Synology, and also only for the reason that red hat also supported it at the time I started using Synology - and the final closer: Synology has not let me down yet!
UNRAID:
I don’t like this:
and this:
and the everywhere reference to “gamers”.
Also:
I am NOT prepared to PAY for an open source OS!!!
I am prepared to financially support Open Source, but not to “buy” a OS license!
BUT: I willl do a neutral test on features / power / speed of UNRAID tonight or tomorrow…
I don’t touch Synology’s KVM virtualization solution, why should I even consider a “Nobody” solution? I’m using a licenced Proxmox solution, at the moment, in my opinion the best virtualization solution available! Why should I settle for a “lesser” solution?
Note: Caching SSDs on NAS
1.5 years ago, I had two 250 GB SSDs lying around at a client who had 2 Synology NAS.
I put in the SSDs and configured them to be a cache. I then found out, that Synology requires two SSDs for this. OK, so what i thought, i’ve got two lying around…
6 Months later, both SSDs were “burnt” thru… (Too many R/W cycles…) I found out the expensive way, that you need “professional” SSDs for cachimg, and not the consumer graded stuff!
Just so you don’t make the same, wrong assumption.
Put in a new Chat / Query in the forum, and link me in
(Just add @Andy_Wismer on top of your post…)
