Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Oh man I'm gonna show my lack of knowledge too 🙂. I'll try anyway, but take everything I say with a grain of salt.

There are different types of RAID, but I believe RAID 1 would be a mirrored array. This Lemmy instance is on a ZFS mirrored array, but that's handled by the host so I don't have to understand it 🙃. I am not sure if the ZFS mirror is considered RAID but it's basically the same thing as RAID 1 (perhaps one is hardware one is software based?)

I see this setup as more of a redundancy for a live system so it can continue with one of the drives after a failure without downtime, and I probably wouldn't consider the mirrored drive a backup. But I'm no expert!

I always mean to do some more research into the topic, and never get past that stage lol. Maybe this time will be different... maybe.. lol
