Finally moved over to #MooseFS and put Versity Object Store Gateway on top of it. I also set up a side little network that splits replication traffic and client serving traffic that took way to fucking long.

I also like that MooseFS has storage transitions. You can tier your storage based on labels. I have 3 labels NVME, SSD, HDD. You assign a storage class and tell the class to create files on NVME label move to the SSD label and then archive it to the HDD label

Actually I'm using something called #moosefs and it's a distributed data system. I just needed to remount the drive that I thought was supposed to be reformatted but really didn't get reformatted, added it to the system. It just replicated data to it and all my stuff didn't miss a beat.

Tried to not use #zfs but couldn't get away from it with #incus in the #homelab. Which Is fine.. still using the rest of the space with #moosefs. Things seem a more snazzed up !

I'm enjoying #Cubefs but it's clearly a heavier op model than #moosefs. Since most of my stuff is #homelab stuff, It feels like I can foot gun it more with #cubefs and I just don't want to take that risk. So here I go migrating back to #moosefs then adding a s3 gateway atop it.

Spent the last couple days completely moving to
#moosefs. By doing so I gained the about 8tbs of hard drives that were just sitting around. It’s been a pretty solid experience so far in the #homelab

Nifty! :-) What are your impressions of #MooseFS? Is there a way to cifs-export it for SMB clients?
I like #GlusterFS over #XFS in my own #homelab but should probably learn more distributed filesystems.

I made this! It's a plugin for Proxmox that integrates MooseFS and MooseFS Pro seamlessly into Proxmox, allowing you to run VMs that live entirely on Moose.
It's VERY rough, but I'm so excited to have made something cool.

If I'm on Debian, and I want a replacement for Gluster, that's conceptually as simple ( three systems that replicate data, so a network file system that doesn't die if a machine dies ), what should I look at?
This is for a personal rather than enterprise project. Ceph is too much. MooseFS perhaps?

I"m slowly setting up #moosefs to house my files. It absolutely isn't as efficient with files as something like #zfs. However, the #flexbility to just add any sized hard drives any where on any system in your #homelab is kinda amazing.

I saw #moosefs posted out there... Trying a distributed filesystem seems dope, but I wouldn't have anything to really take advantage it except media.. I guess!

Sweet, I appreciate the feedback! I had always wondered how it handled a "Linux ISO" type work load. I really wanted to get MooseFS as well, even reached out for a quote from them lol.

Systemd can be a bit of a pain in the ass in a LXC container.. My #moosefs chunkserver were all failing because it needs tailscaled started and whatever I tried it didn't work.. I had to add a entry in my hosts file.. It felt dirty doing it.. I sort of liked it 😆

I'm pretty impressed with #moosefs. It's been really resilient. I know it's not as efficient as raid/zfs, but it has unlocked space I otherwise would not be able to use. Only thing I don't like is that.. it doesn't like things disappearing very much.

Would really love to see somebody do a comprehensive comparison of SeaweedFS, MooseFS, GPFS, Lustre, Ceph. There's so much variation in latency vs throughput, read() vs mmap, special file perf, lock guarantees, etc etc
