I fuck numbers.
I’m an amateur programmer at best, and the height of my programming “career” was when my friend told me their IT was using my tool internally. It has a few hundred stars on GitHub now, so not too bad. Sad thing is that I have other projects that I actually am passionate about, but they don’t get much love.
I don’t think it’ll be ideal. Converting the mirror to z1 would be a big hassle. I don’t see any migration path where I can safely lose a disk without losing data. Also, if both of the old drives fail, I lose everything.
In any case, I’m perfectly happy with 8TB for now. It’s a doubling of my current capacity, of which I’m only using around 70%. I’ll be fine for quite a few years.
(Also, won’t it be around 12 TB, and not 14.5 TB?)
Sorry, but I use my real name on GitHub.
I can say that it’s not a very complex project, and I think that simplicity is probably why people like it.
