[1528.32 --> 1530.00] read a couple of times probably, |
[1531.18 --> 1532.44] MergerFS does everything I need. |
[1532.58 --> 1535.02] What are you hinting at there, Chris? |
[1535.34 --> 1537.42] Well, so the word on the street, |
[1537.54 --> 1539.18] although we'll see if this really pans out, |
[1539.24 --> 1540.22] but the word on the street |
[1540.22 --> 1542.02] is that we're going to see BcacheFS |
[1542.02 --> 1543.62] hit the Linux kernel |
[1543.62 --> 1545.22] in about the next six months or so, |
[1545.30 --> 1546.06] maybe a little bit longer, |
[1546.32 --> 1547.26] but it's nigh. |
[1547.96 --> 1549.62] And the developer, Kent Overstreet, |
[1549.72 --> 1551.22] recently said that his goal |
[1551.22 --> 1553.74] is to essentially make a file system |
[1553.74 --> 1554.92] that does just that. |
[1555.00 --> 1555.68] It kind of replaces, |
[1556.28 --> 1559.10] or it offers the advantages of XFS, |
[1559.30 --> 1561.44] which XFS is a very solid, |
[1561.54 --> 1562.92] very tried and true file system. |
[1563.30 --> 1565.52] And with some of the benefits of ButterFS, |
[1565.76 --> 1567.20] like copy on write, |
[1567.40 --> 1568.74] snapshots, stuff like that. |
[1568.90 --> 1569.32] That's pretty cool. |
[1569.60 --> 1570.64] He was asked recently, |
[1570.90 --> 1572.08] who's using BcacheFS? |
[1572.24 --> 1573.64] Is anybody using it in production? |
[1573.88 --> 1574.74] And he said, well, |
[1574.78 --> 1577.20] I do know that a lot of video shops |
[1577.20 --> 1579.74] that are dealing with multiple 4K streams |
[1580.26 --> 1581.46] are using BcacheFS. |
[1581.46 --> 1583.18] And it made me think, |
[1583.28 --> 1584.04] like, I think every time |
[1584.04 --> 1585.84] I've switched a major file system, |
[1585.94 --> 1589.00] it's been to solve a performance problem |
[1589.00 --> 1590.72] or a scalability problem. |
[1591.20 --> 1593.30] Like, I really finally gave in |
[1593.30 --> 1594.92] and tried ButterFS for real |
[1594.92 --> 1597.42] when I needed to solve storage issues |
[1597.42 --> 1598.30] on a Raspberry Pi, |
[1598.42 --> 1599.92] and I just wasn't going to use ZFS. |
[1600.26 --> 1601.30] I had no choice. |
[1601.50 --> 1602.90] So I had to learn ButterFS, |
[1603.20 --> 1603.92] and then I learned that |
[1603.92 --> 1604.96] I actually liked it quite a bit. |
[1605.08 --> 1606.46] But I only did it |
[1606.46 --> 1607.76] when I was trying to solve, |
[1607.80 --> 1609.02] like, a new problem. |
[1609.02 --> 1611.18] And I just wonder, you know, |
[1611.24 --> 1613.22] like, BcacheFS is going to come along one day. |
[1613.78 --> 1614.76] It's going to be great, |
[1614.84 --> 1615.64] no doubt about it. |
[1615.74 --> 1619.70] But I'm kind of of the school of thought |
[1619.70 --> 1620.82] that when it comes to my data, |
[1621.44 --> 1622.98] I like to give that stuff years. |
[1623.34 --> 1624.74] You know, years of cooking, |
[1625.06 --> 1626.80] years of other people using it in production. |
[1626.96 --> 1627.78] That's just one area |
[1627.78 --> 1630.12] where I'll kind of tap the brakes a little bit. |
[1630.22 --> 1631.22] And so that's why it took me a while |
[1631.22 --> 1632.84] to come around to ButterFS, |
[1633.00 --> 1633.40] to be honest. |
[1633.94 --> 1636.24] That's really what I love about ZFS. |
[1636.24 --> 1637.80] I know it has a bit of a learning curve |
[1637.80 --> 1639.52] and a bit of an aura around it, |
[1639.72 --> 1642.10] but what are you laughing at? |
[1642.12 --> 1642.58] An aura. |
[1642.92 --> 1644.06] I think a bit of an aura |
[1644.06 --> 1645.08] is a funny way to put it. |
[1645.32 --> 1645.48] Yeah. |
[1645.84 --> 1646.44] But it does. |
[1646.78 --> 1648.18] I mean, just listen to you and Alan |
[1648.18 --> 1649.38] back in the day on TechSnap. |
[1649.50 --> 1650.60] Like, you made it sound like |
[1650.60 --> 1652.30] this massive, complex beast, |
[1652.34 --> 1653.02] and actually it's not. |
[1653.10 --> 1655.24] It's just two drives in a mirror, right? |
[1655.38 --> 1656.18] I mean, that's it. |
[1656.22 --> 1657.06] That's what I use anyway. |
[1658.56 --> 1658.88] Yeah. |
[1659.32 --> 1659.82] It does. |
[1659.92 --> 1660.80] It can be very complex, |
[1661.02 --> 1661.68] but yeah. |
[1662.58 --> 1663.72] Not so bad, really. |
[1663.72 --> 1666.10] So I'm glad that you got it found. |
[1666.26 --> 1667.72] I'm sorry there was actually the drive |
[1667.72 --> 1668.54] and not the cable, though. |
[1668.56 --> 1669.26] That does stink. |
[1669.68 --> 1670.52] Well, so this presents |
[1670.52 --> 1671.56] an interesting opportunity |
[1671.56 --> 1672.92] for content, actually. |
[1673.18 --> 1675.10] So this will be the first shut drive |
[1675.10 --> 1676.20] that I've had fail on me. |
[1676.82 --> 1679.00] I don't have the plastic casing anymore. |
[1679.12 --> 1679.78] I chucked that out |
[1679.78 --> 1680.90] as a matter of principle. |
[1681.70 --> 1682.80] So I'm really interested |
[1682.80 --> 1683.68] to see what happens |
[1683.68 --> 1685.66] when I send this 12 terabyte drive, |
[1685.72 --> 1687.40] which is only about 15 months old, |
[1687.50 --> 1688.58] back to Western Digital. |
