Cool. I wish all this was available when i build my server back in 2009. The JBOD/ZFS setup seems to be exactly what i wanted back then. I took the easy way out and just slapped all the discs in and set them up as individual volumes.

If you're pining for redundancy (of sorts) you could always look at SnapRAID. You can present disks that already have data on them and it will go through and create parity. It's not copy-on-write like ZFS et al so you have to manually scrub to generate parity info (and it therefore doesn't have any of ZFS's magic like self-healing and per-block checksumming etc). I went down the ZFS route myself and it's fantastic so if you're ever starting from scratch or expanding with a bunch of new disks I highly recommend it. Also, btrfs is coming along nicely.

Thanks @caLLous but as i no longer have physical access to the server i will leave it as it is. "Had" to leave it in Sweden when i moved to the US for many different reasons (mainly cost of transportation).

It would be nice to have something similar on my current desktop as i wasn't all to happy with setting up two volumes. But i'm not to crazy on setting it up in a raid array - don't want to lose data if one disc in the array fails, or have to use twice as many discs (or half as much disc space) for redundancy. I did look at the JBOD options but that (correct me if i'm wrong) won't fly for any array you run the OS on. SnapRAID, while promising at first glance, is made for the opposite of what i have - lots of small files that changes often.

I might have to spend more then 5 minutes on Google looking in to all this again :)

Nope. There are fossilised forests under the ice in Antarctica.

Yes, i'm aware of that. But seeing how Antarctica were part of Pangaea it really doesn't prove much other then that.

Raven said:
Also, the fact there are coastal cities is besides the point. It doesn't mean that the natural state of the earth's poles should be covered in ice or not.

But the Antarctic ice sheet have been around for ~45 million years. Not sure how much longer you need for it to become the natural state, but for me that's plenty long enough...

Rapid change has happened in the past when humans weren't even a species.

Sure, but why jeopardize the only planet we have because we can't see past the financial costs of changing to a less destructive lifestyle?

Natural change or not, doing nothing is just begging for things to get worse... Even if we fail to stop it because the global warmth wasn't our fault, it's still better then the self fulfilling prophecy that is doing nothing...

Well we can adapt to it but trying to stop it is a complete waste of time.

Frankly, we should treat global warming like we treat dieting.

We should cut down on it and stop un-necessary wastes and find other ways to get energy, but the 'essential' things we shouldn't cut out, we shouldn't starve ourselves.

Nah, this is genuinely what I believe, we should invest what we can into green energy, to pro-long our lives on the planet, but it's stupid and very naive (as that comedian said) to think that we have an actual impact on 'Earth' we don't - Earth will reject us and kill us and move on, that's the actual facts.

But I don't think we should go as far as cutting out all fossil fuels instantly, but it would be stupid to accept the fact we're destroying the planet for future generations and do asbolutely fuck all about it.

I mean, on the grand scale of things, we currently have politicians meeting up around the world, discussing it and not actually doing much about it.

India for one is promising to increase their consumption of Gas/Coal - but that's because alot of India isn't electrified, so they're only trying to get the same standard of life which we have, so we can't keep thinking oh, China and India are increasing, so why should we decrease?

Well, we should decrease because that'll be a path that India and China can follow once they have the infrastructure to sustain a greater quality of life.

TL;DR I don't agree with you that you don't give a fuck about the future, because I do, I intend on having children at some point in the future, so I don't want to leave the planet in a wreck for them, but I also think we need to think about 'third world' countries for now too.

A man walks into his living room carrying a sheep under one arm and storms up to his wife who is in an arm chair reading.

''This is the greasy pig I fuck when you're not here''

The wife looked up from her book and said confused

''That's not a pig that's a sheep''

The man replied

''I know what it is, I wasn't talking to you''
