That makes sense, especially when the drives are equally old. Thanks for explaining it!

I'm curious. Where is the problem with small drives for RAID5? Too many writes for such a small drive?
That sounds very interesting and I'll definetly look into it. Thank you!
It's good to know, that it works. I will probably play around for a bit once I get my hardware. Thanks for letting me know!
That's also something I was considering briefly. While I'm waiting for hardware, I did basically that or at least I think I did. Although, I didn't use a bind mount, because I only have one drive for testing, so I created a virtual disk.
What exactly do you mean with bind mount? Mount the data set into the container? I didn't even know, that this was possible. And what is a data set? Sorry, I'm quite new to all this. Thanks!
Yeah, that is the hardest part. I don't exactly now, how much space will be needed for each use case. But in the end, I can just copy all my data somewhere else, delete and resize to accomodate needs.
I'm currently setting up proxmox just for that. Since I'm still quite new to self hosting, I fuck up from time to time. Deleted my root file system once. Updated Nginx proxy manager and took down my services with it. I once fucked up iptables, scary stuff.
In the future, it'll be one click and everything works again. It's so easy on novices, once you get everything going.
It's pretty similar, but I combined those two guides and that worked pretty well.
I'm currently using this guide to setup a OPNsense VM on proxmox. Home Network Guy also has an OPNsense guide, but for a full router.
Da geb ich dir recht. Ich war nur verwirrt und hab mehrmals im Kopf überprüft, ob das nicht die Cousine ist. Bin echt nicht blöde, aber bei Verwandtschaftsgraden über zwei Ecken bekomme ich Kopfweh.
Also deine Cousine?
Ah, very good to know. Then it makes sense to use this approach. Now I only need to figure out, whether I can give my NAS access drives of other VMs, as I might want to download a copy of that data easily. I guess here might be a problem with permissions and file lock, but I'm not sure. I'll look into this option, thanks!
