[Wolves] Storage advice.

[Simon Burke]

Hi,

Odd position I'm in at day job.

I have a VM (VMWare) running Oracle Linux 9, with two 50tb VMDKs attached.

The issue is that I need to span them, and it'll store a lot of tiny files
(circa 80Tb in 2-3mb files), with a high daily rate of change.

Choosing the right method to achieve this is proving a challenge, when I've
got to get this going this week. So testing is limited.

I can't have a single large VMDK due to a 62Tb limit in VMWare.

I can just use ext4 and LVM, or Oracle Linux likes Btrfs. ZFS is
provisionally out unless I get a third 50Tb disk, for ZRAID+1.

Opinions?


Or I can do some basic tests and report results if anyone is interested?

Thanks
Simon
