Adding some images, such as box art or screenshots of a game, can be beneficial. It's also a good idea to avoid relying on third-party image hosting sites for images in the description of a torrent file in the tracker.

Thanks for your perspective.

I decided to go with the new vdev because:

  • That way, I have access to all 5TB (1TB from the old SSD and 4TB from the new one).
  • One pool is easier to manage than two.
  • I know that I don’t have auto-healing, and if either of the SSDs fails, I lose the whole pool, and I accept that.

I did this via:
zpool add ssdPool /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-Samsung_SSD_990_PRO_4TB-part3

I don’t like ext4 because it is not easily backupable (it doesn’t have snapshots, which are moved periodically to hddPool).

on zfs destroy parent of clone · c/zfs · 1 pts · 3y

thx for sugestion

looks very promising src

# zfs create pool/project/production
  populate /pool/project/production with data
# zfs snapshot pool/project/production@today
# zfs clone pool/project/production@today pool/project/beta
  make changes to /pool/project/beta and test them
# zfs promote pool/project/beta
# zfs rename pool/project/production pool/project/legacy
# zfs rename pool/project/beta pool/project/production
  once the legacy version is no longer needed, it can be destroyed
# zfs destroy pool/project/legacy

not tested yet
