After I had a reckoning with bitrot, would muchly recommend to use something with ECC memory for NAS. And a checksumming filesystem with periodic scrubing that won't get corrupt on you silently.
- foobarian 11mo ago> checksumming filesystem with periodic scrubing Do you know a system that does this? Looking for this too
- Palomides 11mo agobtrfs and zfs
- QuiEgo 11mo agoZFS, Btrfs, or SnapRAID in a chron job (not a file system, but accomplishes something similar). ZFS is the “gold standard” here
- Marsymars 11mo agoSnapRAID is awesome, it's been bulletproof in recovering multiple failed drives for me, but note that you have to have your sync and scrub operations appropriately configured to get bitrot protection.
- QuiEgo 11mo agoI have had good experiences with SnapRAID as well. I use this script to run it (in a Chron job), which is highly configurable: https://github.com/auanasgheps/snapraid-aio-script https://github.com/auanasgheps/snapraid-aio-script
- mjevans 11mo agoSame, but I also discovered a wonderful bonus in the difference between True ECC DDR5 and just the on chip BS stuff. ECC DDR5 boots insanely fast since the BIOS can quickly verify the tune passes. This is even true when doing your initial adjustment / verification of manufacturer spec.
- Marsymars 11mo agoCame here for this comment. I wouldn't run a NAS without ECC.
