A warning story for the #ZFS people. The #Gandi storage failure post mortem https://news.gandi.net/en/2020/01/postmortem-of-the-failure-of-one-hosting-storage-unit-at-lu-bi1-on-january-8-2020/
@jwildeboer What is the warning in this story? It's a good post-mortem of a random failure and why it was slow to recover..
but recover they did
I've had harder crashes with other FS's or even DB recoveries..
@Maescool the „slow to recover” is quite a warning IMHO.
@jwildeboer due to the old version they were using, and used the safest way not to loose data, yeah 'slow to recover' is also in mySQL xD
@jwildeboer good find and nice writeup from Gandi! We should make restore exercises mandatory I guess... maybe find some cyber reasons for it :-) just "restore" sounds boring
@jwildeboer
A good read. Thanks for the hint.
