Can we please, PLEASE for gods sake just all agree that arch is not and will never be a good beginner distro no matter how many times you fork it? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

It's a really simple system meant to 'just work' and provides an idiot sheet you can copy and paste from for those who don't ever want to RTFM

as long as the system isn't doing anything important Arch is great for noobs fucking around, it's high grade spoonfeeding and doing what you are told.

Power users use RHEL, Ubuntu, Gentoo. Governments, armies, tech giants and that kinda stuff, Arch is more for newbies karma farming on r/unixporn for lolz

Redundancy? storage options for a rpi4? filesystems? raid? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Thanks, I do have backups of important stuff.

I think bcachefs is what I'm looking for, but I'm gonna wait a bit until development calms down a little and keep on the way I am at the moment.

Thanks,

bcachefs could be the answer but I don't really want my data on a fs I need this week's kernel to access properly. Maybe I should just hold off for a few months.

I'm not monitoring the drives, I have backups of important stuff...but would be nice to tag more important stuff amongst the mediocre stuff on the off chance both drives don't fail at the same time.

I have a pi4 running on an ssd over usb3 with a usb3 dock that has 2x2TB drives for storage.

At the moment I have mainly music on one and mainly video on the other, with important stuff on both and elsewhere.

Is it sensible to combine 2x2TB hdd's via usb3 dock into a 4TB filesystem/pool/volume/thing......and if so can I have tiered storage so if one drive fails the other will have a mirror of important stuff?
