ZFS -> Snapshot....always!! Before touching writable-data (my personal mantra) ;)
- hnlmorg 5y agoI love ZFS too but that's not really relevant to this discussion because the deleted items were on a video hosting platform and the company did already have local copies.
- nix23 5y agoYes and? Make a snapshot on live. Again, never touch data before snapshot.
- volume 5y agoThis reminds of some IRC threads. You post a question and someone's answer assumes you are going to rip out and replace your existing prod setup just so you can use their pet tool.
- nix23 4y agoPff, there are thousands of system's and filesystems that are capable to make snapshots, even a shadow disk from VM370 (1982) could be seen as one.
- hnlmorg 5y agoAt risk of sounding snarky, you do understand how video hosting platforms work? Customers, even enterprise ones, don’t have shell access let alone control over what file system is used. There are a hundred ways this problem could have been prevented but ZFS isn’t one of them.
- nix23 4y ago>you do understand how video hosting platforms work? No, no i don't.
