Summary: This meeting will cover the build of a new Linux system from components and review various uses including consolidating backups Abstract: In this two part meeting, we'll review the build list of components and overall budget for a new Linux-powered system with the AMD Ryzen 3. In the second part, we'll push this system to its byte-busting limits for powering a permanent archival system. We'll begin with an overview of the build - covering the purchase of parts, continuing with assembly, and concluding with the installation of Ubuntu. Then we'll move to various considerations and options for the Terabyte Transportation Generation. We'll discuss managing backups, and showcase the capabilities of rclone and what you can do with affordable terabytes of storage. We'll then look at different file systems and compare considerations for use in backups. We'll wrap it all up with a forensic review of the Flash-Friendly File System (F2FS) - discussing details of its design, data layout and aspects of encryption. We'll looking into the pros and cons of using F2FS as the underlying file system for a permanent archive of all your most valuable data. Finally, we'll discuss news reports of an SMR “scandal” and compare that technology to CMR. -- -- Jerry Feldman <[email protected]> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 6F6BB6E7 Key fingerprint: 0EDC 2FF5 53A6 8EED 84D1 3050 5715 B88D 6F6B B6E7 _______________________________________________ Announce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/announce _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
