  • mergerfs

    a featureful union filesystem

    Slightly on topic, a nice low maintence (other than a daily/weekly backup/scrub script) is mergeFS, combined with snapRaid. The main benefit is you can add and remove drives willy-nilly. It's been stable for me for the past 3 years

  • snapraid

    A backup program for disk arrays. It stores parity information of your data and it recovers from up to six disk failures

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • scripts

    Various scripts I wrote when using FreeBSD/Linux/UNIX systems for 15+ years. (by vermaden)

    The mdconfig.sh script is here:

    Hope that helps.

    After all the 'stable' years with ZFS/OpenZFS I would just not trust 'some new hybrid RAID' implementation ... not to mention all the ZFS features like compression/deduplication/snapshots/clones/copies/bookmarks/send/recv/...

    Regards.

  • dyld

    It's proprietary software.

    They release the source for any of the licensed components that they use that require source to be made available. Just like Apple does for OS X at https://opensource.apple.com/releases/

    The fact that such downloads exist does not mean that the synology software is open source.

    Anyone who says otherwise is lying or misinformed.
