    How much RAM do I need for napp-it cs RAM for a ZFS filer has no relation to pool or storage size (beside dedup)! Calculate 2 GB for a 64bit OS, add 1-2 GB for a Solaris based filer and 3-4 GB for a BSD/Linux/OSX/Windows based filer for minimal read/write caching or ZFS can be really slow. RAM...

    Move away from unsafe FAT on USB sticks or disks, use ZFS

    You can`t just give away a file on an USB stick to anyone like you can with *Fat* but that is not the point and for such I use a cloud link now. All of my systems have ZFS so I can just plug an external USB disk (can be 20TB) ex to my Mac, Linux/ Unix or Windows systems and import the pool to...

    Move away from unsafe FAT on USB sticks or disks, use ZFS

    There are use cases where you still need a *Fat* variant and a data loss or undetected bad file is not relevant. There are use cases where data security is the main concern like a secure data move via stick or backup via checksum protected zfs send to a removeable ZFS pool with copies=2 on USB...

    Move away from unsafe FAT on USB sticks or disks, use ZFS

    ok, but then say - no to checksums (no report on bad files) - no to Copy on Write (undamaged filesystems after a crash/remove during write) - no to transparent compress - no to transparent encryption - no to autorepair files on bad blocks with ZFS and copies=2

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    A napp-it replication uses dedicated snaps (*_repli.._nr_n) and protects them from autosnap so normally you should have a common base snap. If not you cannot sync them again. Rsync can sync files but not make filesystems exact identical. Usually, you rename the target filesystem in such a case...

    Raid-0 is quite always a bad choice as any disk failure means all data lost and any bad sector at least a file lost if not a filesystem lost. Newer filesystems like btrfs, ReFS and ZFS offer checksum protection with auto-repair errors (self healing filesystems) on read but only when there is...
