- mekster 5y agoWhich is more versatile than an object storage.
- hardwaresofton 5y agoOh yeah I'm aware of the storage boxes! They're actually fantastic, and what I plan on building on for Nimbus -- it's not quite as easy as just running MinIO (in fact I won't be using MinIO), but the efficiency is great. Traditional object storage scales automatically and is very easy to integrate with (most people write apps to interface with S3 these days, and less SFTP), so there's just that small edge! That "sort of" is what I want to get rid of. Other smaller clouds have services that are a better fit (OVH has object storage, Scaleway, etc), but Hetzner doesn't yet.
- abdusco 5y agoI mount my storage boxes as CIFS volumes, but random access latency is high, and I can't do multiple heavy IO operations concurrently. It's best suited for use as a backup drive. Is there a faster way to mount storage boxes? I suppose SSHFS would be even slower.
- mekster 5y agoAt least you can tune sshfs performance with a few options. https://www.admin-magazine.com/HPC/Articles/Sharing-Data-with-SSHFS https://www.admin-magazine.com/HPC/Articles/Sharing-Data-wit...
