    [TUTORIAL] FabU: This is just a small setup with limited resources and only a few disks, should I use ZFS at all?

    Should I use ZFS at all? For once this requires a disclaimer first: I am using ZFS nearly everywhere, where it is easily possible, though exceptions do exists. In any case I am definitely biased pro ZFS. That said..., the correct answer is obviously: “Yes, of course” ;-) Integrity ZFS assures...

    Hi, Has anyone experimented with ceph stretch pools that seem to have appeared in squid? (not stretched clusters) It seems rather new, but rather interesting, as it may not require the whole cluster to be set to stretched, while still dealing with the guarantee of OSDs and monitors being on...
