Old-time Linuxer here but it's the first time I heard of either Ventoy, MergerFS or SnapRAID.
- joch 6y agoSounds like using mergerfs together with snapraid would work similar to the popular Unraid software but more diy.
- fishtacos 6y agoUnraid provides real time data protection, whereas Snapraid with mergerfs provide disk pooling and scheduled snapshots. That's its greatest feature IMO - expandability and data protection without rigid expansion requirements. AFAIK, it's one of a kind. Flexraid on Windows was the closest I had found (a product I still use on an old install - software and owner disappeared - although I did manage to track down the patent and the developer once, seems to have moved on to other interests/employment)
- terrywang 6y agoVentoy is relatively new bootable USB creator supporting booting directly from ISOs instead of actually block by block copying (old fashioned - like dd or pv, quite like it). It works very well in most cases using popular distros, a bit glitchy on Macs LoL
