[839.78 --> 841.44] And off to Google I went. |
[841.68 --> 843.98] And so I fell upon MergerFS-tools. |
[844.68 --> 846.56] You know, it's over on GitHub. |
[847.26 --> 847.70] Fantastic. |
[848.04 --> 848.88] Easy to set up. |
[849.72 --> 850.58] Clone the repository. |
[850.58 --> 855.12] Within seconds, everything's being rebalanced across my drives. |
[855.12 --> 857.14] Yeah, these tools are really great, actually. |
[857.38 --> 858.36] And there's a few of them. |
[858.58 --> 862.40] It's mergerfs.ctl.fsoc.dupe. |
[862.40 --> 865.78] And the first one is mergerfs.ctl. |
[866.08 --> 869.70] This is a wrapper around the MergerFS-x-atra interface. |
[870.54 --> 876.02] Essentially what this lets you do is add and remove drives as well as get info about the array that's in there. |
[876.70 --> 880.14] And, you know, print things like your version and your mount point and stuff like that. |
[880.52 --> 881.72] Pretty useful if you need it. |
[882.08 --> 885.22] Probably most people won't need that one, but it's there if you do. |
[885.22 --> 889.52] The next one is mergerfs.fsoc. |
[890.04 --> 892.22] So mergerfs.fsoc. |
[893.50 --> 897.80] Audit's permissions, ownerships of files and directories in a mergerfs.mount. |
[898.08 --> 902.72] And then one of the great tools that I really like is mergerfs.dupe. |
[902.88 --> 903.38] No, no, no. |
[903.42 --> 903.68] Hold on. |
[903.90 --> 906.90] Before we sweep this under the carpet, we've got to clear this up. |
[907.40 --> 908.78] Fsoc or fs.check. |
[909.04 --> 913.98] If you have an opinion on this, let us know at self-hosted show on Twitter, please. |
[913.98 --> 914.58] I don't know. |
[914.70 --> 916.58] I think fsoc sounds a little dirty. |
[917.44 --> 917.84] fs.ck. |
[919.50 --> 921.24] All right, mergerfs.dupe. |
[921.26 --> 925.46] This one duplicates files and directories across different branches in a pool. |
[926.22 --> 930.00] The selected file can be duplicated using the dupe option. |
[930.32 --> 936.74] So this could be useful if you're not using something like SnapRaid for kind of parity type redundancy. |
[937.00 --> 942.58] This one would literally physically duplicate a file across X number of disks. |
[942.58 --> 946.12] And then, of course, you have the follow-up to that, which is mergerfs.dupe. |
[946.62 --> 948.10] Ddupe does as it says. |
[948.18 --> 950.26] It finds removed duplicate files across pools. |
[950.92 --> 955.88] You know, you can set up ignore, ddupe, and strict options to target specific use cases. |
[955.88 --> 964.28] I can tell you, this one I used right away because as I was copying pictures over, you know, I copied them from my Mac. |
[964.38 --> 965.94] I copied them from my Fedora box. |
[966.16 --> 970.28] And I knew that I had them in multiple places because, as they say, if you don't have three copies... |
[970.28 --> 971.34] It may as well not exist. |
[971.58 --> 971.72] Yeah. |
[971.72 --> 977.30] The first thing I did is I ran the ddupe, you know, because this became my fourth copy. |
[977.54 --> 980.60] And there was no point in having multiple of the same files everywhere. |
[980.86 --> 982.12] And it was really quick. |
[982.20 --> 983.10] I was really surprised. |
[983.68 --> 989.12] One of the things I like about the ddupe tool is, by default, it doesn't actually delete anything. |
[989.32 --> 997.42] You have to explicitly set execute mode, which, you know, for fat-fingered people who don't read the docs like me on occasion, that's a good thing. |
[997.42 --> 1004.60] And then again, as I originally mentioned, there's the MergerFS balance, you know, probably the best feature you're going to run into. |
[1004.80 --> 1008.48] It's going to make sure that your data is balanced equally across the pool. |
[1008.90 --> 1010.92] You know, you can set a defined range. |
[1011.02 --> 1012.62] I think the default is like 2%. |
[1012.62 --> 1016.16] So the last one is MergerFS.consolidate. |
[1016.24 --> 1018.86] And this does the complete opposite of balance, really. |
[1018.94 --> 1023.94] It takes things from multiple places and puts them and co-locates them all onto one single drive. |
[1024.90 --> 1026.60] That one requires rsync. |
[1026.60 --> 1028.86] I think there's a couple of others that require rsync as well. |
[1029.32 --> 1033.06] But obviously under the hood, it's just doing some rsync magic to copy that stuff around. |
[1033.80 --> 1034.30] It's definitely great. |
[1034.36 --> 1038.50] Like I said, if you're running MergerFS in your home lab, definitely check it out. |
[1038.96 --> 1042.10] You know, I'm sure there's going to be at least one tool in there that's going to help you out. |
[1043.98 --> 1045.84] Linode.com slash SSH. |
[1045.98 --> 1049.34] Go there to get a $100 60-day credit on your new Linode account. |
[1049.86 --> 1052.20] Linode is the largest independent cloud provider. |
[1052.60 --> 1056.06] Now, no matter what skill level you're at, what technology stack you use, |
[1056.06 --> 1058.58] Linode can help your ideas come to life on the web. |
[1058.78 --> 1060.74] If you run into any trouble getting set up, |
[1060.90 --> 1064.80] Linode comes with amazing 24-7 customer support by phone or ticket, |
[1065.30 --> 1068.22] along with hundreds of guides and tutorials to help you get started. |
[1069.10 --> 1071.68] Linode has an easy-to-use and powerful cloud dashboard, |
[1072.24 --> 1073.82] S3-compatible object storage, |
[1074.02 --> 1075.04] cloud firewalls, |
[1075.20 --> 1077.50] simple one-click application deployments, |
[1078.00 --> 1078.92] super-fast networking, |
[1079.14 --> 1080.20] and so much more. |
[1081.06 --> 1084.42] Linode started in 2003 as one of the first companies in cloud computing, |
[1084.42 --> 1087.38] three years before AWS and other enterprise providers. |
[1087.88 --> 1090.70] They're independently owned and founded on a love for Linux. |
[1091.06 --> 1092.02] And I tell you, |
[1092.10 --> 1095.50] when you use Linode and you dig into some of their more advanced stuff, |
[1096.34 --> 1096.92] by the way, |
[1096.96 --> 1099.42] did you know they will let you boot your own ISOs? |
[1099.56 --> 1100.12] Oh, yes. |
[1100.36 --> 1104.02] If you want to run some esoteric thing from 20 years ago, |
[1104.20 --> 1105.98] you can try and do that on Linode. |
[1105.98 --> 1111.76] So go to linode.com slash SSH and get a $100 60-day credit on your new Linode account. |
[1112.00 --> 1114.50] That's linode.com slash SSH. |
[1116.80 --> 1123.24] One of the downsides of having a home lab and then a media server is I needed permission to buy it |
[1123.24 --> 1125.46] and I needed permission to where to put it. |
[1125.76 --> 1129.26] So the downside is it's next to my desk and it's in a small little hole. |
[1129.26 --> 1135.16] And I have my three monitors and my MacBook and then I have my desktop for work. |
[1136.04 --> 1138.40] And I have so many cables, you know, |
[1138.44 --> 1142.44] and I'm constantly in a situation where when I need to hook up to the UNAZ, |
[1142.56 --> 1144.14] I'm unplugging a cable. |
[1144.46 --> 1146.18] Same thing with the ESXi box. |
[1146.68 --> 1147.82] And I need a solution. |
[1148.70 --> 1151.46] But I need a solution that really works. |
[1151.58 --> 1156.22] I don't want the old style KVM where you're running all these cables and you're pushing a button. |
[1156.22 --> 1161.52] You know, I want something that works with a modern monitor, HDMI, you know, |
[1161.84 --> 1163.86] and something that just works. |
