My SSD suddenly died. I only lost 10 minutes of data, thanks to ZFS
For people who don't want to use ZFS but are okay with LVM: wyng-backup (formerly sparsebak)

Lacking confidence to switch to Qubes
Backups: This is a major problem for internet-isolated VMs. For internet-isolated VMs, I use this tool: https://github.com/tasket/wyng-backup. But it does only backup the Qube from the shutdown state. The Qube doesn't need to be shutdown, but it doesn't use the live volume. (You can actually run it on live volumes, but it's not supported for that.) In internet-connected VMs, I just use restic or borg. You're right that an offline backup solution is actually more complicated in this regard. The simple way of attaching a USB drive will only attach to one Qube at a time. Now there should be a way to attach the USB drive to only a backup qube, and do some sort of passthrough between the Qubes, but I don't know exactly how to do this.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is so buggy you can't install the OS [video]
Be careful if you use ZFS-on-root, make sure not to snapshot bpool or it will brick your system and require a complete reinstall.

Radxa's SATA HAT makes compact Pi 5 NAS
> The only non-junk PCIe3 option that's even advertised here recently is the overpriced WD Red SN700.
Those WD drives seem to have some real issues, at least with ZFS and btrfs. :(

DiskClick: Ever wanted to hear Old Hard drive sounds
IMO the "next fs" is just zfs. They somewhat recently merged RAIDZ expansion feature https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/12225 and make regular improvements. If no file system has what you need today, zfs will probably be the first one to have it "tomorrow," imo.

A data corruption bug in OpenZFS?
https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/15526#issuecomment-181...
> zpool get all tank | grep bclone
> kc3000 bcloneused 442M
> kc3000 bclonesaved 1.42G
> kc3000 bcloneratio 4.30x
> My understanding is this: If the result is 0 for both bcloneused and bclonesaved then it's safe to say that you don't have silent corruption.

Ask HN: What's your "it's not stupid if it works" story?
A couple years ago, I had an idea for convincing a filesystem to go faster using 2 compression steps instead of one. I couldn't see why it wouldn't work, and I also couldn't convince myself it should.
It seems to have worked out. [1]

ZFS Profiling on Arch Linux
https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/7631
This is a long-standing issue with zvols which affects overall system stability, and has no real solution as of yet.
