I'm about to start building my "LABv1" and I decided to go with 3 office grade pcs from hasswell/skylake era for proxmox HA cluster. So that got me thinking why shouldn't I distribute the HDDs between them too.

It'll save me money on buying sata controllers, provide me with better redundancy and better utilization of my servers since the "NAS" wouldn't be sitting idle, better expandability since once I run out of space to put hard drives in the machines I got I can just buy a new one without worrying about zpools or raid (which will make my cluster grow too). I plan on each of them having at least 3gbit of bandwidth so that shouldn't be an issue.

Is someone out there running that kind of s

Hi I'm in a conundrum. I have 2 3tb cmr hdds that I'd like to use for bulk storage but later on I'd like to add the 3rd (and mabe 4th if I need to) is it possible to create a a pool with 1 raidz1 vdev with 2 drives and add other drives to the same vdev after the fact? (i'd rather have the capacity than 2 drive redundancy).

If not which solution should I use? I looked into btrfs and it seems perfect for me but its raid5 equivalent is not production ready. I'd like to avoid traditional raid because it has no protection against bitrot.

Also, can proxmox and VMs be on the same ssd? How much space should I delegate for each. Will 120in total be enough for start (id like to migrate to a larger

Hi, since r/mk doesn't allow asking about particular keyboards/switches I'm posting here.

Do any of you have experience with their GK84XS kit (on their website they are calling it "SKYLOONG GK84 Kits")and their Glacier switches (I'm particularly interested in the tactile variant) I'm not able to find any non-first party overviews of them.

AFAIK Skyloong is an OEM making keyboards for Epochmaker and Royal kludge.
