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 @yacoob
Ceph *is* in the kernel. The kernel side is upstream. And the other side is userspace. ZFS is still an out-of-tree module :P

not on BSD...

So you're saying I should switch my entire OS to use a particular filesystem, because that's clearly easier than an out-of-tree kernel module.

No way. I like dedicated having stuff dedicated to a single purpose. My storage box is BSD, but I work on mac/linux and sync there. The setup works pretty nicely - for me at least.

This box does all of storage, routing, media streaming, HTPC, web serving, VPN... I'm considering breaking out storage to another machine, but not yet.
