Ciao a tutti,
I have a little server (debian stable on raspberry) used by my family and a
little set of people (~10) with services like nextcloud (~100GB growing) and
some more.
This server has an external disk for the data, disk that is becoming too little
so I would like to change it with a bigger one (1TB) and I would like to arrange
this new disk in a confgurable fashion, so I would change the partitions on the
way.
I remained to lvm2: there is something newer/better?

But:
- ZFS wants lots of memory. The rule of thumb is 5 GB of memory for
every 1 TB of storage.
- ECC memory is safer than non-ECC memory.
- Consider getting two HDD's and creating a mirror.
- "compression=on" is lightweight and generally useful.
- "dedup" is heavyweight, slow on HDD's (due to seek latency), and not
recommended for general workloads.
- Consider getting a NAS or an entry-level server.
