There are volume size limits on my cloud provider, but it sounds like combining multiple ones together might not be a great idea.

There are volume size limits on my cloud provider, but it sounds like combining multiple ones together might not be a great idea.
- necovek 4y agoIt's totally a good idea. There is a different question of whether that provides enough reliability, but that depends on if your cloud provider already offers safety in case of hardware failure for your volumes. Note that even today, with a single volume, if you lose it, you lose all your email. Most cloud providers would provide some resiliency for storage volumes though.
- a-user-you-like 4y agoWould you prefer to use ZFS or LVM to handle something like the storage of mail for files which might need to add a volume from time to time?
- necovek 4y agoI would personally use LVM because that's what I've been using for decades. If you don't know either, you might want to explore ZFS since it's a different concept a bit, but you don't have the baggage of "I already know this other thing" that might get in the way. I'd certainly would like to start using ZFS at some point, but can't justify the investment.
