Fangtooth RC1 Soon, Appliance vs Distro, Just How Bad is a Full Pool | TrueNAS Tech Talk (T3) E016

On episode 16 of TrueNAS Tech Talk, Fangtooth gets a code freeze and a release date for RC1, explain how TrueNAS as an “Appliance” makes it different from a regular Linux or BSD “Distro”, answer a couple of viewer questions about the most challenging bits of code to develop (in the past, and the future!) and ask the question of just how bad it can be to let your pool get close to, or even completely full?

Let the wanton speculation begin!

I am saying “tiered storage” for that big ZFS feature. It’d fundamentally change how ZFS storage thinks of itself.

I was thinking some sort of clustered zfs storage, like the original intention of Scale to begin with.

I was guessing the same.

Can the podcast have its own forum category rather than under announcements? It would make it more of a resource and easier to track which ones I have watched.

Tiered storage is the main advantage of bcachefs. Not being ZFS is bcache’s main disadvantage.
