Elucidate VS snapraid-aio-script

Snapraid also has a third party GUI if you don't want to have to type commands in. https://github.com/Smurf-IV/Elucidate

If I'm forced to convert and I can't find a reasonably priced option I'll be buying some more drives and using SnapRaid (as my server is Windows) + Elucidate for the GUI.

https://github.com/Smurf-IV/Elucidate Scroll down :)

I'd recommend using the following script: https://github.com/auanasgheps/snapraid-aio-script - it's a bit more robust than what is baked into OMV. That being said, I used the OMV default scripts for a few years without issue.

I had also no experience, but bought a few disks for experimenting and now as you can see very like both solutions. Even mergefs + snapraid you will like it. Also, don’t forget to run ‘snapraid sync’ when you created pool and setup snapraid disks and then create schedule task for this script https://github.com/auanasgheps/snapraid-aio-script It will help you automatically support health of your data and each script execution you will have notifications about your smart info and pool itself.

I recommend using my own script for SnapRAID activities :)

I'm running that setup (on ext4) and it works great. There's a cool script (here) that you can have a look for snapraid tasks. It was important for me to be able to juggle discs and move data as I see fit, and it works great.

You could also add this script https://github.com/auanasgheps/snapraid-aio-script to run on a daily basis to scrub and check parity of your data drives.

MergeFS un altro must! Minchia ci vai pesante, sei su /r/datahoarder? Se il tuo nas SnapRAID è Linux, potrebbe interessarti questo script a cui lavoro da mesi e modestamente credo sia il migliore, perché sono partito da uno decente e l'ho migliorato col tempo. Parte per essere usato su OMV ma in realtà dovrebbe funzionare più o meno ovunque.
