Whee, almost lost ~20% of the data on this filesystem two days before I intended to finally upgrade my offsite backup host to be able to back it up completely. Murphy is one hell of an asshole.

Narrowly avoid disaster with the "re-create RAID array with the same parameters, assume clean, fsck and cross fingers" approach. I had some corrupted parity from a transient glitch doing major damage to the FS.

I'm getting tired of RAID and traditional filesystems. Stuff doesn't scale. The backup host is going to be moving to Ceph (single-host Ceph, but hey, why not) and if that works out I might migrate my home NAS to that too.

Replying to @marcan42
Ceph’s a bit of a nightmare when it comes to perf degradation/recovery, depending on how you set things up. My company’s moving off of it after years of trying to get it stable and resilient. Different scale, though, and usage pattern; I’ve seen people have v good luck w/ it. GL.

You planning on monolithic RBD’s, CephFS for multi-client, or something else?

Both RBDs and CephFS depending on performance and workload. Need to do a few tests. I already run two production Ceph clusters with RBD and raw librados clients, but this will be a more heterogeneous home setup.
