I have an array of 8x8tb spindles in a btrfs raid6, it's my primary media store, but honestly I just consider it a cache between usenet and kodi -- anything rare gets backed up elsewhere, but most of it can be obtained from usenet again in minutes. (really this makes me think I should drop it to raid5 now). nudgenudgetilt posted:in theory, btrfs can be smarter about writes by knowing the underlying array layout nudgenudgetilt posted:is it safe to use xfs on a machine without a battery yet? bit of a rollercoaster ride all of this

nudgenudgetilt posted:I love how every post or high level "how-to" about zfs on linux (or any os, really) related completely ignores how unsuitable a default config zfs is anywhere but on a file server. The typical new zfs user spends about 6 months before they go "where the gently caress did my ram go?" and learn about configuring arc. Uh, on. ZFS relinquishes RAM just fine (though you want it as big as possible because it's better than Linux's page cache), and its default config works ootb (though you really want to enable compression). I wouldn't use it outside of file servers for other reasons, mostly because root on zfs is a trash fire on Linux.

ARC compression is enabled by default, and turning it off isn't the best idea.

block-level device abstractions and redundancy should be separate from filesystems. there is no reason a filesystem should be handling n-level parity, especially in ways that are incompatible with other systems and even different FSes on the same box

you don't get protection from phantom writes, misdirected reads/writes, dma parity errors, driver bugs and accidental overwrites without doing it, though.

none of those things are anything the filesystem should care about or be unable to handle without also being the underlying virtual block storage provider. - phantom writes: assuming you mean the write() call being made twice in a statistically negligible period of time, a sane filesystem should either look at two identical writes in the same go or with a reasonably accurate understanding that it's the same process and go "this is almost assuredly a mistake) - misdirected reads/writes: on-disk filesystem implementations should always assume that the underlying device is accurate. is it zfs's problem if your ahci controller responds to your request to read a dozen blocks with goatse? - dma parity errors: if your dma controller is sending incorrect error correction information and you can prove it, that isn't your filesystem's problem because it should only ever be assuming that device read/writes are accurate and reliable, because they should be. - driver bugs: filesystem bugs - accidental overwrites: with no detailed information as to what you mean, this sounds like an application/user problem

user's intent a month ago: "the tenth line of /etc/passwd says my username is kazinsal" the disk today: "the sector containing this dickhead's username starts with 67 6F 61 74 73 65 63 78" the software raid sublayer: "the block containing this dickhead's username starts with 67 6F 61 74 73 65 63 78" the file system: "the device says that the bytes I've read start with 67 6F 61 74 73 65 63 78" the user: "what is that man doing to his anus? the filesystem implementation should have made this impossible"

I don't care about layering violations when it makes my data safer. I'd get lynched if research data gets silently corrupted. Do note that I actually have had several instances of just that happening, from sporadic garbage data returned from disks to just absolutely spewing the bus with hundreds of garbage blocks that the entire Linux storage stack did not even alert on. Disks absolutely lie.

https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/10/22971108/valve-steam-deck-windows-runs-drivers-no-support Valve releases steam deck drivers for Windows 10, so that it'll actually install and work. Except for the audio drivers, which have not been released yet. In an ironic twist, it's now windows that doesn't have working audio, instead of Linux.

I suspect Bungie desperately doesn't want any additional workload for any reason, including Linux users complaining about stability/performance and the anti-cheat is a handy pretext.
