Actually I have a better idea. Before we all went into hiding I fully<br>
provisioned the newest file server bought by Dr. Jeff Schneider late<br>
last year. The server has for now only one ZFS pool due to the lack of<br>
HDDs but six storage HDDs which are installed are 12 TB each. Thus the<br>
ZFS pool I created has 48TB of useful space even before standard lz4<br>
compression ZFS uses. For the first time we even have dedicated 2 NVMe<br>
ZFS mirror slog for the pool.<br>
<br>

<br>
although that should only impact write speed. <br>
<br>
I already remote replicated /zfsauton/data and /zfsauton/project data<br>
sets onto the new file server but I am scared to pull the trigger and<br>
change anything in the current NFS setup before we come out of hiding.<br>
However, I think it would be a very good idea that we consolidate all<br>
standard third party datasets people use in the Lab in a new ZFS<br>
dataset/NFS share which will be accessible to all users across all<br>
computing nodes. That, in theory, should off load some of the traffic<br>
from other 2 NFS servers we use for home, data, and project directories.<br>
That, in theory, should also partially solve the fact that scratch<br>
directories are machine specific. Hopefully that would also help us use<br>
less storage space as we will solve duplication problem.<br>
<br>
What I need from users is the name of dataset you think we should share<br>
with everyone and its current location. <br>
