  • Many suggest zfs, I want to spend a word on ext4 instead. Solid, reliable, well proven. Does the job and works pretty well.

    Been on ext4 on RAID1 for decades, since it got stable. Never had an issue, except when I borked it by my mistake.

    It has maybe less features than zfs, but doesn’t need external kernel patches or complex tools, and again its solid, well proven and very stable

    Edit: ext4 on top of Linux software raid (mdadm)







  • Crappy (30-40mbit/sec) but uncapped FTTC here, plus 5G FVA at 300mbit/sec but 1Tb monthly cap here.

    Combining both and separating heavy traffic (fucking fortnite and many steam big games) on the crappy uncapoed, and arr’ing too, leaves tons of data for high speed anything.

    Total cost? 22€ + 24€ = 46€/month, no surprises. A lot more expensive than having fiber indeed, but I am deep into the woods, so.

    Ah, and when i go over my 1Tb data cap on the FVA, I get throttled to 6mbit/sec, nothing extra to pay.
