i think i have defeated the "stupid make-believe-RAID #WesternDigital My Book Duo by pulling one of the disks, forcing it to fail, and then newfs it in order to unshackle it from whatever janky "encrypted" "protection" it has.

good news: you can, in fact, run it in #JBOD so it's actually useful for reliably storing data once i create a new #openzfs pool using that pair of 10TB disks for #timemachine
#householdIT #storage (#zfs wants the disks not make believe slices and volumes)

Hey file server / NAS folks, I'm not very well versed in bulk storage, but I have a huge pile of hard drives of various sizes and I've kind of just been stuffing them into my server and accessing them individually with OMV. What would be a better option for automatically managing a pile of different sized disks with some form of safety and/or redundancy? I'm not looking to do anything crazy, I just dont wanna lose any stuff if something happens.

@lijn It's funny you say that about #TrueNAS because I hear that a lot more about "magic" solutions from #Unraid or various #NAS appliances like QNAP. It is definitely very rigid on configurations, especially correct ones. The general rule is you want to use sets of 4 drives for single parity and 6 for double. If you're looking more for #JBOD, TrueNAS might not be the solution for you. #homelab #storage
