#homelabbing

Well, just figured out why I was having so much trouble with my network cluster: one of my drives just crapped out. Fortunately it was just a 2 TB slice and I have one copy so I should recover about 95% of it (I was already in the middle of trying to recover some corrupted volumes most of the week).

I think once I get the replacement, I'll bump up to 020 (two copies) but drop the erasure coding since it looks like that isn't worth the pattern until I get over ten nodes, which probably will never happen because this is just a home lab.

Oh well, as far as I can tell, I didn't lose any photo shoot.

Well, back to writing.

Okay #homelabber folks. I'm running ethernet to my office and I can either have one or two drops at the wall.

My Orbi AP will be moving upstairs to the office, sharing space with my gaming PC, work laptop, and various tinkering projects/raspberry pis.

The AP needs multiple VLANs for the various SSIDs, while the computer systems are typically on one VLAN.

There's no shortage of port density on my core switch, and currently everything is running CAT6/1 Gbps (aside from my Ceph cluster which is backed by SFP+ 10Gbps).

Regardless of either option, I'll be digging out a managed 5 port switch for use upstairs.

Does anyone manage a lot of #storage drives, either for a #homelab or at work?

Could be magnetic hard drives or any kind of solid state drive.

I'm interested if you track any data individually about storage drives over the course of their lifetime and how much you actually use the data you record, if you record anything.

Backblaze's storage report is the pinnacle of what's possible with that data, IMO, but I feel like few smaller operations go that hard.
