Whatevs.<br/><br/>One of the pools was basically &#34;scratch&#34; backup space and one of the spindles died (breaking the utility of the mirror). Pulled the drive, wiped the remaining, put back in service with minimum fuss as a single drive. I&#39;ll throw another spindle at it when drive prices drop again.<br/><br/>The other array had the SSD cache die and it&#39;s been chugging along fine ever since. Not a big deal, but from a &#34;experience&#34; point of view it &#34;feels slow&#34; like a working md array. <br/><br/>New SSD arrived in the mail so that&#39;ll get sorted sometime today/tomorrow.<br/><br/>So, what&#39;s this post about?<br/><br/>Linux peeps, if you are thinking about md arrays, just stop, take the time, and throw &#39;yer leg over the zfs horse.

Any data or individual files that a container uses, and that I care to keep, resides outside the container. It is linked inside via volumes defined in the run shell script or compose file. In some cases even dumb things like root&#39;s .bashrc gets linked in so that nuking a container doesn&#39;t lose the shell history the next time something needs hand fettling (mediawiki, maintenance scripts, composer, bootstrap, and friends - yes, needs more automation).<br/><br/>Any time a container gets restarted, step one may be to delete the container (and associated volumes it creates), re-pull latest and instantiate fresh. This is pretty typical for Jellyfin for example.<br/><br/>Also, working this way means that the entire backup process can exist outside the container volumes and nothing redundant in /var/lib/docker needs to get backed up. <br/><br/>Anyway, I need to figure out how to achieve something similar under FreeBSD jails. I&#39;m assuming there is something in ZFS that provides a similar type of functionality during jail startup but haven&#39;t dug into it yet.<br/><br/>Then there&#39;s the &#39;correct&#39; and easy way on how to upgrade the software inside a jail (os components and services the container runs) that needs experimentation on my side. Some scripting to do.<br/><br/>Jails seem much more elegant but there is lot of old cruft and &#39;finger memory&#39; to work around. Ha. A lot of stuff is pre-wired and ready to go for regular usage in Linux containers in comparison, I think.<br/><br/>The journey continues.<br/><br/>#FreeBSD #jails #docker #podman #RunBSD 2026-03-27T09:40:05+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsg0f674zd3d4qpgtkkg76tgyv406p3wtx588gdyvkqkcxswuqr6ggzypwht0m3k63lx557g5tw8h42359zvjvq56cszchu20eh0pgkkchrx60dc9m In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs8ah4q4maam0c3k6m457zwpqvcp8km6n8zc3p6dakpmr2k0sugjmqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43qdkrtld'>nevent1q…rtld</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq98t8kgwqas59rvmnghzcdn6krzhxhpkyt2mt53e4g9sdnj74sszs6a65q8" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyd968gmewwp6kyqpq98t8kgwqas59rvmnghzcdn6krzhxhpkyt2mt53e4g9sdnj74sszs6a65q8</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…65q8</span>)</a></span> Btw, if you are really thinking about getting an electric car, check out Jonny Smith&#39;s channel on Youtube (The Late Brake Show).
