> Can't add/remove disks to a RAID
You can expand ZPOOL with RAIDZ Expansion:
- https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/06/raidz-expansion-code...
- https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/12225
By the way the author sounds like he is in love with LVM and Linux ecosystem and does not understand ZFS at all ... while he also recommends BTRFS on LVM for the same features.
If you do now know ZFS do not read it - it will only bring false information into your mind. If you know ZFS then you can go read an laugh to make your mood better :)
I'm using https://habilis.net/cronic/ to make sure I don't mess up the email notification part of the cronjob. It's a simple wrapper script that sends an email in a readable format if a cronjob fails.
I use Sanoid to create snapshots on my home server, and use Syncoid to push those to a cloud VPS with a beefy network drive as an off-site backup. Both tools are available here: https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sanoid
The free tier of https://cronitor.io/ makes sure I'm alerted if a cronjob fails, or fails to run on time. Especially that last bit is interesting: that way I'm sure cronjobs aren't silently failing for days/weeks on end.
I have 4 monitors set up in Cronitor: snapshot creation, zpool status on the local and backup machine, and send/receive with Syncoid. This is how that looks on the Cronitor dashboard: https://img.marceldegraaf.net/v6IpNAyxrZ54vgLqIJpY/download
Let me know if you want more info or examples, happy to share whatever I can to help :-)
