Even with the exhaust fan running, my bathroom mirror will fog up. You could open a window, or leave the bathroom door open (subject the the presence/objections of house mates). Or, just wipe it dry with a hand towel when your shower is done.
The drive prices for 16TB drives (specifically Exos) are pretty decent compared to 10TB I think, thus why I want 16TB. Are there any downsides to a 3 way mirror? Would it allow two out of the three drives fail without incident? Also if you know any documentation on it that would help a lot. Also with RAIDZ, adding drives to a pool later requires resilvering, does a mirror/3 way mirror require ...
Extend a ZFS mirror: Add the same number of drives. The result is a striped mirror. For example, if ten new drives are available, a mirror of two drives can be created initially, then extended by adding another mirror of two drives, and repeating three more times until all ten drives are added. Extend a three-drive RAIDZ1: Add another three drives.
After confirming going from stripe to mirror was possible I went ahead and built my system with two storage pools. An "main" pool with 2 x 8TB drives for bulk storage and a "fast" pool with SSD's. At the time of building the "fast" pool I only had access to a single 750GB SSD. Knowing that I could extend the pool later, I configured it as a stripe.
Adding a second storage device to the boot pool changes the configuration to a Mirror. This allows one of the devices to fail and the system still boots. If one of the two devices were to fail, that device is easily detached and replaced. When adding a second device to create a mirrored boot pool, consider these caveats: Capacity: The new device must have at least the same capacity as the ...
Now that you have logged in to the web interface, it’s time to set up TrueNAS storage. These instructions demonstrate a simple mirrored pool setup, where you use one disk for storage and the other for data protection. However, there are many configuration possibilities for your storage environment! You can read more about these options in the in-depth Pool Creation article.
Ideally the LED mirror would get full power while the dimmer switch controls the dimmable vanity LED lights. I was thinking about using a current sensing relay that will know when the vanity LED lights turn on and then send full power to the LED mirror.
The mirror is right outside the shower, as is the exhaust fan, but I've seen this happen when the mirror is farther away from the shower and/or around a corner.
Hey everyone, I'm currently facing a bit of a conundrum with my ZFS pool setup, and I'm hoping that some of you knowledgeable folks out there can lend a hand. I have a ZFS pool with a mirror VDEV configuration (2 x 4TB), and I'm looking to expand it by adding a single drive (1 x 6TB). Here are...
