Stefano Marinelli<p>One of the main criticisms I read about ZFS (mainly OpenZFS) in forums and articles is that "it's not well integrated into Linux." <br>It's true - there is a licensing issue, and that shouldn't be underestimated. However, I believe it's wrong to judge it based on this - on FreeBSD, it is perfectly integrated (not to mention the various illumos-based OSes), and in my opinion, it should be judged for what it is, not for its integration into the different Linux distributions.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenZFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenZFS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ZFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZFS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FileSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FileSystems</span></a></p>

James Y🎃ung<p>Surely someone's looked into this: if I wanted to store millions or billions of files on a filesystem, I wouldn't store them in one single subdirectory / folder. I'd split them up into nested folders, so each folder held, say, 100 or 1000 or n files or folders. What's the optimum n for filesystems, for performance or space? <br>I've idly pondered how to experimentally gather some crude statistics, but it feels like I'm just forgetting to search some obvious keywords. <br><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/BillionFileFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BillionFileFS</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/filesystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>filesystems</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/optimization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>optimization</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/benchmarking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>benchmarking</span></a></p>
Markus Birth<p><strong>Docker-Compose and automatic mounts</strong></p> If you want your Docker container to use data from a network share, people tend to mount the share to a directory outside of Docker and then point the Docker volume to that mounted path. However, Docker-Compose also supports mounting volumes and brings some advantages. E.g. for a SMB/CIFS share, the relevant parts in your compose file could look like this: services: my-service: ... volumes: - my-smb-share:/data:rw volumes: my-smb-share: driver_opts: […] <p><a href="https://blog.mbirth.uk/2025/02/01/docker-compose-and-automatic-mounts.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.mbirth.uk/2025/02/01/dock</span><span class="invisible">er-compose-and-automatic-mounts.html</span></a></p>
Stefano Marinelli<p>This morning, I came across this interesting article in the fantastic <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@vermaden" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>vermaden</span></a></span> newsletter: </p><p>Migrating away from bcachefs - <a href="https://blog.sesse.net/blog/tech/2025-01-20-21-45_migrating_away_from_bcachefs.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.sesse.net/blog/tech/2025-</span><span class="invisible">01-20-21-45_migrating_away_from_bcachefs.html</span></a></p><p>bcachefs is a filesystem with some intriguing features. The problem with all filesystems is that they are hard to implement, challenging to debug, and, worst of all, the most critical part of a system. Stability is undoubtedly important - a crash causing a reboot is manageable - but a filesystem that eats data is something irreparable or, at the very least, extremely dangerous. <br>Sure, there are backups (because there are backups, right?). But in my opinion, a backup is a last resort, not a solution.</p><p>Sometimes people ask me why I prefer ZFS over btrfs, especially when the latter is "more flexible." There are various reasons, but primarily, it’s due to the stability ZFS has shown me over many years of use. I've never lost data with ZFS, while I have lost data (non-critical, recoverable) several times with btrfs.</p><p>bcachefs is interesting - but before I consider it stable and usable, many, many years will have to pass.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/zfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zfs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/openzfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openzfs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/btrfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>btrfs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/bcachefs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bcachefs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FileSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FileSystems</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a></p>

For me, clients were told beforehand that the space on the drives was calculated in decimals. I simply told them that because of a conversion system the drives are actually (much) smaller in raw capacity. Some of the clients were semi-technical and knew about the binary system used for hard drive space before.</p><p>Those I could tell in detail about the marketing ploy, to sell drives which are under capacity and Market them as higher. </p><p>For me the annoying thing is that Storage Systems are still sold with incorrectly displayed capacities. </p><p>And since drives will become really large soon, we'll have 32+ terabytes of drives available for consumers, it will be harder _no_ it will be an unnecessary **extra step** to calculate how much raw capacity the drive actually has</p><p>Meanwhile in the 80s you knew exactly what the raw capacity was, because they were properly stated by the manufacturers</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FileSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FileSystems</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/HDD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HDD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Storage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Storage</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Standards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Standards</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Binary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Binary</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Hexadecimal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hexadecimal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/freeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/DOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Partition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Partition</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a></p>
