BuyVM Slabs Build log! [Hardware Porn]

Legit, a single drive.

We let them all badblock fully and no problems minus a single drive having a big chunk of it toast.

I actually restarted badblocks a few times to make sure I was running it properly since I was confused how we had no bad drives until the literal last batch.

It feels like I watch a old porn finally find the actress is older than my grandma.

Or you can combine the two, and the actress is actually your great-grandmother.

Only one out of 216 drives?

Yup.

I didn’t believe it but badblocks is pretty heavy/destructive.

What software/specs are you using for storage? One big JBOD with Raid, or glusterfs?

We have 3 hardware RAID10 volumes per node.

What we’re using to merge it all into a neat little package i’m keeping close to the heart :stuck_out_tongue:

Let me guess:

  • Something free/low-cost. Software like GPFS is too expensive for clouds
  • It can do FUSE and is very high performance
  • It’s not some half-broken unmaintained software
  • It does not require separate metadata servers

If I didn’t forget anything, those requirements basically boil down to the following:

  • Scality RING
  • MAPR FS
  • GlusterFS
  • XtreemFS

I bet on Scality, but seems like we will never get this information from you :slight_smile:

Glad to see you made it to HostBalls =]

I’m more interested in your flooring however, that’s hardwood right? I got cheap laminate, lol

Your nick name doesn’t disappoint. Everything according to God’s plan.

Since this was of some urgency, I already PM’ed @Francisco about it, but since everyone else needs to know…
