Which is better for headless seedboxes?
Your mother - completely unstable
>>54327952
Which ever one you feel the most confident using. They are both secure & well suited for the task and will require minimal effort to setup.
>>54328124
The native ZFS on FreeBSD makes me want to use it.
>>54328201
OpenZFS on Linux is no less native and we are starting to see several linux distributions pressing the 'fuck it' button as they know the FSF won't do anything about it, Linus won't do anything about it, and Oracle *probably* won't either.
>>54328871
Yeah but does it come with ZFS, and is the whole disk ZFS?
>>54328871

>>54328201
First off, why do you want to use ZFS?
Is this going to be locally hosted?
>>54329114
It prevents corruption.
>>54329248
I thought it only prevented corruption if you have ECC hardware.
>>54329287
I don't think so. It also has tons of other useful features that ext4 doesn't have.
>>54329310
Like what?
>>54329248
But if it's a seedbox then bittorrent will provide it's own corruption prevention.

Corruption isn't that common. If you're really that concerned about changing a handful of pixels in a single frame, keep backups.
>>54329248
The reason I ask about local vs hosted is that chances are your provider has some sort of error-checking built in.

What if I'm the only seeder?
>>54329424
>What if I'm the only seeder?
Seedboxes aren't dedicated servers, they're virtual. Whether or not you're the only seeder has nothing to do with your data integrity.
>>54329424
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS#ZFS_data_integrity
BTRFS does the same thing, as long as you're keeping backups and run occasional checks you're fine. The bigger concern is a URE which as long as you're running RAID you don't have to worry about (unless you misconfigured your RAID).
>>54329586
Yeah but ZFS has way more features.
>>54329637
That you'll never use unless you're hosting a seedbox in your house.
>>54329647
That's what I'm doing.
>>54329699
Ah, in that case feel free to run it.
I don't recommend trying inline-deduplication as 1. it's not particularly useful for a seedbox since you'll have single copies anyway and 2. it requires alot of resources.
>>54329764
Also don't do zfs on root. Get a cheap hard drive to put your distro on and mount a zfs pool externally.
>>54329787
Why wouldn't I put ZFS on root?
>>54330081
Makes it more difficult to repair if shit breaks. After how many times an upgrade or change has fucked up my root I wish I had mounted my mdadm raid separate.
>>54329248
>>>54329114
>It prevents corruption.
no it doesn't, it reduces the chance of corruption. remember zfs is really an enterprise filesystem where data corruption would be an issue to address. i never saw one data corruption issue in 15 years as an admin.
a seedbox in reality is a low end server and should be treated thus.

>>54329787

>>54330150
id say the opposite. with boot environments zfs on root is wayyy easier to deal with upgrade fuckups and the like moreso now that the FreeBSD bootloader has builtin support for them.
>>54327952
It literally doesn't fucking matter - it's a god damn seedbox. You're not doing anything even remotely complex with it.

Is this pic supposed to imply that FreeBSD users are homosexuals?
>>54328960
Ubuntu 16.04 can be done with minimal effort from install media and Proxmox VE does (I understand why Proxmox might not count to you, but I threw it in anyways)
>>54330456
well kirk mckusick and eric allman are gay and married
>>54330415
i would agree with that statement on the basis that i've had far more issues with freebsd updates/upgrades than i have had with debian so with freebsd it's kinda justified.
remember were talking about a seedbox here which would take less than a couple of hours to rebuild from scratch assuming you have been backing up all your important configs etc.
>>54330456

It's only gay if you're on the receiving end.

[thus] in the way just indicated; in this way

Fuck off beta. I'll fuck your boipussi to assert dominance.
>>54330455
no, he should've said "treated as such". god you faggots are retarded.
>>54332575
>should be treated thus
That's perfectly acceptable English. Perhaps newfag millenials or Yanks would probably never use it in such a way but we can't help their ignorance.
