I agree you should document the decisions and discussions around them. I never said you shouldn't, just that the discussion shouldn't be entirely written. But you can discuss live and summarize the discussion in the doc after. Rel

by mtlynch 1y ago
I disagree. I think companies that have meetings like this have an immature meeting culture. Meetings are for low-latency collaboration, not information transfer. For example, reading a design doc is obviously more efficient asynchronously

Another reader suggested a different way that achieves the same thing but avoids degrading the pool. You keep the raidz1 pool healthy, create a 5x8TB raidz2 pool with two fake disks, migrate the data, and then only pull the disks from the r

Oh, I see. I thought you meant I should buy an 18 TB drive, move my data there, blow up my pool, create a RAIDZ2 pool, then move my data back. Yes, I agree I could have reduced the risk of pool failure if I bought an extra 8 TB disk and not

by mtlynch 1y ago
The extra drive would also have zero redundancy. I know it's risk of 1 drive failing vs. any of 3 drives failing, but disk failures follow a bathtub curb, so I'm more worried about a brand new drive failing than 3 healthy drives t
