In the grim darkness of 2025, Linus tech tips finds itself barely recognizable as thousands of servers coat their buildings like a 2 meter thick layer of armor, shielding the world from the madman at it's heart. Inside the asylum, a monument to the sins of Linus' technology addiction, he slaves away streaming 24/7 as he tries in vain to "save the universe" in sever project after server project. His employees are wired directly into everything as little more than motherboards waiting to be dropped by Linus. As time goes by, Linus will himself finally become the master of the internet as he wires himself into his temple of tech tips, continually giving tips about tech so arcane that they are lost upon the ears of the masses. In the year 2025, Linus tech tips becomes unknowable, unrecognizable, feared, and worshipped.

Finally, they are doing it right, I've seen so many of their setups and thought, well if that works best for you and the team, then cool. But I always thought in the back of my head, that they really should separate the storage and compute and have the storage compatible to where you can swap out the compute unit and continue to roll without downtime. Your storage is starting to look strong now LTT, sweet !! ❤️
@archaon8853 Жыл бұрын
Going from something like glusterfs to what's effectively just a single file server really isn't an upgrade. However if downtime isn't a particular issue and there's no need for clustering etc then it's an ok solution that's much easier to manage, and sometimes that's more important than how good the tech is.

12:19 Biggest thing I have to deal with as a datacenter Storage Admin is constantly checking people that assume Storage doesn't need lots of host resources. Perfectly competent technical people somehow miss that processing and handling IO isn't free in terms of system resources, both at the Storage System AND Host Initiator sides. 20:20 Metadata dedicated is a godsend for huge fileservers like yours -- The idea is that filesystem metadata lookup is actually a really big performance hit because metadata reads/writes are very small, very random, and usually with a sync_required status so they hold up the line. With a metadata tier, you put all your metadata in a dedicated high performance tier/pool/spam/whatever and it not only speeds up your metadata activity, but it also keeps your other storage open for regular IO without having to shudder around working those small metadata IO packets in the middle of regular workload.

Well... for most people storage truly doesn't need many resources... any computer within the last 10 years could probably serve as a 10TB 1-drive NAS. But the little bits of processing power really add up when you have multiple petabytes... not to mention the sheer bandwidth just to keep so many drives happy. Add a NAS-grade filesystem like ZFS and it's a lot of work for any system.

It's very cool but from what I've heard LTT has like 50 employees. This is like 26 Terabytes per person if you are doing a 1-to-1 backup (and not all employees will utilize this fully). Perhaps LTT has a larger data inefficiency/clean-up issue? A media company of this size should not/does not need this much storage. It's definitely cool but it seems like for the past year or so we've been getting server upgrades pretty often. It seems like a bandaid solution to a larger problem IMO. It may be in LTT's best interest moving forward to hire someone to establish standardized procedures around data retention and general operational efficiency. If these things weren't sponsored like they are LTT would be breaking the bank just trying to keep up with its data problem.

There's one cool thing with ceph : it makes data loss *reaaaly* unlikely, because when an error is detected, as long as you have enough space left in the cluster, in terms of redundancy, and space, it will recover automatically and after that, even if you didn't change your bad drive, you'd have the same amount of redundancy as before the drive went bad, you just lost the drive's capacity, and usually you don't let such a cluster fill up to the point where it's unable to do that, and you expand before. Also, ceph is a joy to expand : make the node join the cluster, create OSDs, done. Ceph will automatically rebalance the data if needed. Same thing if a node goes down, if there are enough nodes left to keep the required level or redundancy, it will automatically rebalance the data to make it happen. We use this in our IT club at our uni, it saved us multiple times, keeping our infrastructure up and running even when we f things up. It is capable of recovering from very, VERY bad situations. There was a time where we didn't have the "manpower" needed to replace bad drives in our cluster : if was fine : ceph kept these bad drives out of the cluster and rebuilt the redundancy, so even after all the drives of a node failed (bad HBA card), some within days of another, with no manual operation, there was no data loss, only capacity loss, which was fine, as we overprovisioned. Truly a marvel. In comparison, ZFS is only *good*, I think, a lot less flexible, certainly. Edit : also, ceph is able to handle drives of drastically different capacities, and handling it as best as possible, without much intervention, if at all (depending on the crush rules, etc ...).
@v1mja 2 жыл бұрын
Jup. Ceph is absolutely amazing. We ran our cloud on GlusterFS and absolutely hated every bit of it. Now we are running on Ceph. Every issue we have encountered has been just so pleasant in comparison. Drive failure - no sweat (as you explained above, Ceph handles it so well. I'll replace the disk just whenever I feel like it). Expanding the cluster - It gets faster as a bonus! Bitrot on a drive - detected and fixed reliably. Rebalancing the cluster after a node-outage or adding new drives / nodes - works as expected with virtually no ill-effect on the performance delivered to VMs.

Meanwhile: Dual Epyc is around $20k 3.2PB of drives is around $60k JBOD box is like $10k That's $100k one time purchase vs $200k a year.

@@administratorwsv8105 What are you talking about? HPE, Dell all still sell LTO tape drives or libraries. What we've seen is a consolidation in the manufacturers, a number of these IT vendors just resell another OEM's drives & libraries like Lenovo and Dell do with their badge on it. IBM & HPE still have a wide range of libraries. HPE's biggest LTO library can expand to a 56,400 slot, 144 drive 2.53EB behemoth. IBM has something a bit smaller. The other consolidation is that HPE & Quantam have left the development of the drives to IBM. Those three companies control the LTO consortium.

Since you seem to have missed it - a loss of SPECIAL (metadata) device will result in the total loss of data. I mean, the data without metadata is useless. If you were to go this way, I would suggest splitting this device across disks in different locations - e.g. a mirror with half of it in the JBOD. Which kind-of kills most of the benefits.
@ashleighrowe2565 2 жыл бұрын
you may have missed that Jake was suggesting using redundant SSD drives for that. yes the loss of data risk is still there, but given they're doing RAID-Z2, the loss of data risk is there too, and with the AFR of a SSD being lower, on average, than that of a HDD, assuming you get past the start of the bathtub curve, the risk is not any more raised by using the special metadata vdevs on a SSD like his suggestion than it would be staying on the drives that are there already, especially as Jake has 3 cold spare of those drives ready to deploy in the case of a failure of a drive
@bronekkozicki6356 2 жыл бұрын
@@ashleighrowe2565 Bathub curve applies to the risk of single disk failure. In case of a critical device such a SPECIAL, it bears to consider other sources of risk as well, like for example accidental wiping of all disks in a single computer chassis. Normally "accidental wiping" is not much of risk, but you know - Linus Sebastian has his ways :^-D

@archaon8853 Жыл бұрын
Obviously depends on capacity or number of drives but for home or small business you would normally use internal disks. A server chassis with say 12x 3.5" drive bays and internal SAS or SATA controllers is way cheaper to buy than a server + JBOD + external SAS + cabling, it's less to worry about, less space, less power, etc. Also to be blunt if it's just file storage, then unless you want to nerd out for the sake of it - just go and buy a NAS from someone like QNAP or Synology.
