IPFS is one of those things that shows up on my radar every year or so recently, I drool over it from afar, then I download it and install it and try to use it for a real use case and... it doesnt work.
I've went thru what I thought were the default tutorials and... nothing. Made me feel like the docs were leaving something out.
On paper it would be a useful tool to add to my toolbox. Someday...
- genewitch 5y agoLet's say I have ten hard drives where no more than two are the same size, so at least 5 pairs or maybe 10 different sizes. For this, zfs cannot be used to expose a single mountpoint. Perhaps with something like ipfs a single mountpoint could be exposed and allow replicated data to be retained? The key word here is "replicated" - as in a certainty that the data exists on more than one physical storage device. I'm spitballing and this isn't necessarily directed at the parent of this comment.
