Club: Elite TB MyList Club

according to my local Whereisit listing, im at 1154TB, but that may include 10% ~ of duplicated files since my collection is not on an unified storage

As of the time of writing, I'm looking at 505 TiB of Total Storage Space. Anyone reached the PiB mark yet?

So, with ZFS, you don't have to move pools to prevent fragmentation, you can do it at the dataset level, each dataset is treated as it's own space, what I do is have staging datasets then after it's complete it goes from incomplete > to be sorted or staging then into its final dataset and it's written without any fragmentation.

You can see that I only have ~2% fragmentation below, some of that is from an iSCSI LUN.



I am not sure what your exact vdev layout is, but z3 seems a bit excessive to me, but I also replicate all my stuff to an offsite replica server, so I am never more than ~24 hours out of sync from my local server.

The log devices only help if you are using a protocol that is using synchronous writes, if you are using SMB or NFS with async you will still lose the inbound, you would need to set the pool/dataset sync policy to sync=always, if you can handle a redownload, then, snapshots will cover most of it, you can just revert or nuke the bad file and re-pull it, the log/sync=always is more for supercritical inflight files, think running a VM off ZFS via iSCSI or NFS as its disk. ZFS being Copy On Write, once it's on the pool, it's pretty safe, even during a move.

Very nice setup you have. My layout approach looks a bit different, I use different pools all Z3 with optane nvme logs to avoid power outage data loss. With each pool I can swap disk generations and increase space steadily. Also fragmentation can be reduced by moving data between pools.

This is where I am at.

For me there are plenty enough groups releasing files for all series that I dont really see the point to encode anything myself (beside the few random old stuff that nobody want to touch), also sub from dvd are horrible and bluray are barely better, some release groups do a better work with softsubs that what is available by default.
I do buy physical but thats just my collectionner habit, most of the boxes are kept with their original packaging wrap, maybe it will be worth something when im old haha

Hi all , still watching the old stuff you have . i still have vhs collection i started with , i am now at 50tb anime on 2 nas systems , need to look for something easyer to watch and sort the anime series.

Do you also still use dvd and blurays --> to MKV or is there a beter way now to encode.

youre currently beating me then. @ 344 with fill capacity to 464
i want to go flash. while solutions are now available, prices are still too high.

CGi did it before and it was way better at it!

keeping all the erai stuff would be likely enough ....
just kidding, but they really like to waste everyone bandwidth and disk space

it is quite perplexing how do you manage that! I personally been collecting stuff for about three decades by now, and didn't even get close to a quarter of that... I am guessing you store a lot of remuxes!

As of the time of writing, I'm looking at 427 TB of Total Storage Space.

Hi to all, i just checked my folder : 8.89 TB of anime in it
Strangely, mylist it 13.2 TB, i suppose it is because of deleted releases

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Hello everyone :3

MOAR!!!!!!
