  3. I don't know if anybody noticed #ZeroFS yet, but it seems there is a completely user space-implementation of #NFS and #blockstorage on top of #S3 #objectstorage: github.com/Barre/zerofs

    Including a demo running #ZFS on top of it which essentially allows geo-redundant ZFS volumes: asciinema.org/a/728234 & github.com/Barre/zerofs?tab=re

    I don't see no #FreeBSD port yet, but if that really works it would be absolutely awesome.

  7. Just added some new diagrams to describe the internals of the thi.ng/block-fs block storage & filesystem (incl. some examples) and also added/updated CLI tooling docs...

  11. #ReleaseWednesday Just pushed a new version of thi.ng/block-fs, now with additional multi-command CLI tooling to convert & bundle a local file system tree into a single block-based binary blob (e.g. for bundling assets, or distributing a virtual filesystem as part of a web app, or for snapshot testing, or as bridge for WASM interop etc.)

    Also new, the main API now includes a `.readAsObjectURL()` method to wrap files as URLs to binary blobs with associated MIME types, thereby making it trivial to use the virtual filesystem for sourcing stored images and other assets for direct use in the browser...

    (Ps. For more context see other recent announcement: mastodon.thi.ng/@toxi/11426498)

  15. #ThingUmbrella #ReleaseTuesday... New package (initial alpha release):

    thi.ng/block-fs provides highly customizable & extensible block-based storage with an optional hierarchical filesystem layer. This is useful everywhere you might need virtual filesystem, though the storage providers can also be used without the filesystem layer (e.g. for #Forth-style block data/editors).

    The default configuration provides:

    - arbitrarily nested directories
    - filenames (UTF-8) of max. 31 bytes per directory level
    - max. 32 owner IDs
    - file locking
    - creation/modification timestamps (64 bit)
    - efficient append writes

    Currently included storage providers: TypedArray-based in-memory and host filesystem based file storage (one block per file). More are planned (e.g. IndexedDB, remote endpoint)...

    The readme is currently still lacking various diagrams to illustrate the filesystem internals. I will add those ASAP...

Affordable is also great! #iCloud #ethical #cloudstorage #privacy #blockstorage ? Please boost to give me more response as I think there are more mastodonians with the same question.

  32. @meka about two months ago or so you wrote that you were investigating #DistributedFileSystem solutions for #FreeBSD.
    Are there any results you can share?

    We are happily using #minio for #ObjectStorage but we have not yet found a good #BlockStorage solution…

  40. @abnv @alexelcu similar experience here. Disk space is the big challenge. I’ve hit 100% disk space usage on my 80GB VPS several times even with some very aggressive cache retention policies (1 day). In summary, #relays are a key cause of that (introducing you to many more remote servers) and #blockstorage appears to be the most cost effective solution. #mastoadmin
