Hi I am getting a lot of “failed to add bandwith usage” errors. This file ist almost 8GB big. A lot for a database. Tried to rename it but my node does not start with a new database (keeps restarting). 2023-10-01T15:53:39+02:00 ERROR piecestore failed to add bandwidth usage {"proce…

In short, nobody can say if its bad. I have a similar drive wich also did stutter at the same filling. Of ~7tb. But with ntfs. If the drive is alright nothing bad can happen if you run defrag for a week while node is running. But i set it via yaml to be full. To reduce stress. Also moved the dbs …

I also use unraid, but with the Unassigned Devices plugin and have formatted the HDDs in ext4. With me, the nodes also partly use a lot of RAM, but as a buffer. I found it a bit strange at first. if you look in the dashboard you see how much ram is really reserved. In Linux there is no unused RAM…

I have no option in Unraid Unassigned Devices plus to format the drive in ext4 :frowning: [image] I read mounting is possible, but I did not find any information about formatting. Unraid is based on Slackware. I dont want to go back to XFS :smiley:

Debian 12 has a similar preset: [grafik]

I mounted the hdds in a Linux vm and formatted it with gparted in ext4.

Thank you so much @Chrysen ! I tried it before over the command line but it did not work. My Lubuntu VM did the Job and now I am ready to copy everything back :slight_smile: Have to do this 3 more times but with more ext4 drives it should be faster than XFS to XFS. By the way even NTFS is way fast…

[image] Pascal51882: I have no option in Unraid Unassigned Devices plus to format the drive in ext4 You have ZFS there in the list. what do you need ext4 for? [image] Chrysen: mounted the hdds in a Linux vm and formatted it with gparted in ext4. Sigh. People will always go out of thei…

So you would prefer ZFS? What are the benefits and down sides? I just want to ad this post: [image] BTRFS vs EXT4 vs ZFS Filesystem for storj Node Operators Your assumptions are correct, the best FS for Storj on Linux is ext4. BTRFS is not good for Storj, it’s also not p…

I don’t want to repeat the whole discussion we had in the other topic, but to summarize: ext4 wins slightly in perf on small datasets and resource constrained hosts. As the node grows, ext4 will choke unless you add enough ram to fit metadata, but then ZFS starts winning massively, even in a defau…

maybe this could help? i don’t know unraid or linux.

@Alexey maybe zfs is an option here?
