#JBOD #RAID0 #LVM Quick Tip #techstr #HDD #SSD (no backup/redundancy in any) Common / Advantage *Cheap + Small Size* HDDs/SSDs can be clustered for non-critical large data only vs Individual disk disadvantage – super high cost- single of failure – cannot expand captjack’s pick LVM – easier to manage disks add/replace diff size sata hdd-s

ZAPPPPOW!!!!
look some LVM post - u can keep adding stacking old cheap HDDs - (noraid) but no need buy expensive large 1TB 2TB HDDs in case that needed - recovering also possible from one partial disk failure - need some new cheap disks in that event

are u familiar with cli linux ? then do below u need physicall attach your HDD using SATA or USB / reboot possibly ssh-> into ur box start9/umbrel/embassy whatever lsblk (to find the preformatted device /dev/sdd) sudo mkdir /hdd20 mount /dev/sdd /hdd20 filebrowser -r /hdd20 -a lanip -p 555 if u have used windows means ntfs formatted below adv user u wanna **old cheap** disks for data which can **lose** disk fails #[2]

#Asknostr nostr:npub1te0uzs6vj29umjaxlqqct82j8q6ppyefrxq06dhr8d6pvwfatgkqjmjgwp I wonder if I could ask for a bit of help? I’ve maxed out my internal SSD running #umbrel apps/nodes and want to expand my drive size. Can I add an external usb drive ?
LINUX LAPTOP
Ahh that’s a work around I guess, I suppose I could leave the internal drive in , clone it to usb and then change boot order, that should coco
#[2] #[3] most likely LVM was enabled at 1st in original node hardware box - unless it was VM so 1. backup all key/seed/config data outside DISK 2. add additional disc - rebuilt again from scratch unless u temporary 1TB storage to copy data out n mave back to after LVM2 disks are built 3. u need linux cli knowledge / search tools many free tips in or outside nostr
typo - most likely NO LVM enabled in ur box so u have enable it in fresh partition HDD (erasing all in hdd)
Thanks for that , it looks a bit more complicated than I thought it would be , have found some resources on lvm and instantly needed a nap 😴 I’ll get my head around it though 🫂🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
😍 alternate is - BUY 2TB or 3TB new disk again what if that disk fails / gets full someday few years from now
I prefer the idea of smaller multiple drives for sure 👌🏽 but I may just go for the single drive for now whilst I continue to learn, imma sleep on it
sure good idea - also check specs of interface SATA3 etc - so u can easily expand disk by disk #[5]
