Comment on Case study: recovery of a corrupted 12 TB multi-device poolparent

Comments

Could try ZFS or CephFS... even if several host roles are in VM containers (45Drives has a product setup that way.)

The btrfs solution has a mixed history, and had a lot of the same issues DRBD could get. They are great until some hardware/kernel-mod eventually goes sideways, and then the auto-heal cluster filesystems start to make a lot more sense. Note, with cluster based complete-file copy/repair object features the damage is localized to single files at worst, and folks don't have to wait 3 days to bring up the cluster on a crash.

Best of luck, =3
