  • mergerfs

    a featureful union filesystem

  • I run mergerfs on the vm to create a single folder hierarchy of all the data disks.

  • OpenMediaVault

    openmediavault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. Thanks to the modular design of the framework it can be enhanced via plugins. openmediavault is primarily designed to be used in home environments or small home offices.

  • In the setup I referred to - I provision a virtual machine with virtual disks (virtual disk images stored on various zfs pools) and on the vm I run snapraid to handle parity and redundancy of the data. Some disks are for data, some disk are for parity. The vm is Debain running omv.

    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.

    These are policy-driven snapshot management and replication tools which use OpenZFS for underlying next-gen storage. (Btrfs support plans are shelved unless and until btrfs becomes reliable.)
