Best filesystem for MergerFS/SnapRAID

Zitat von ryecoaaron

I was just correcting the fact that ext4 is not limited to 16tb because people will read it and think that is true. It was not directly related to snapraid. And snapraid (and now the plugin) support split parity files on one drive removing any ext4 limitations. The FAQ you are reading on the snapraid page referencing ext4 limitations is very old since it doesn't mention split parity at all.

Oh, I didn`t know, thanks. So, I can use EXT4 for parity also even if I have >16TB parity file?!

And yes I remember about command mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -T largefile4 DEVICE

This split parity will be automatically or I have to do something for that?

No, you are still limited to 16TB files but since you can split the file into multiple parts, the size limit isn't important.

It is an option in the plugin now. If you look at it, hopefully it is self explanatory.

Open */services/snapraid/settings and disks and didn`t find any related to splitting.

And you won't. Look in the drive tab. Split parity is column heading. And since that is where you mark a drive as a parity drive, it only made sense to set split parity there.

Thanks, it`s clear now.
