I’m still muddling along in building my desired home NAS/desktop.
I started chasing what I thought was a simple recommendation by Mr. Salter. Putting /var on a non-NVMe pool. I’ve found the rabbit hole to be surprisingly complex. Since ZFS chooses when to load the mountpoint, there seem to be a few ways to do it. Has anyone else done ZFS PAM configurations, ZFS - ArchWiki ?
This approach also seems to solve how to decrypt all of my encrypted drives. Mount order would allow rootpool/ROOT/ubuntu to mount and then rustpool/var to mount after / , but before the OS tries to do anything.
This was solely to reduce the extensive logging writes to my NVMe pool, but I’m almost ready to pull the rip cord and put /var in a single pool just to ensure I can complete a build.
One of the suggestions will be to incorporate the rust pool into a single overall pool. For now, I want to keep them separate while I’m learning the day to day of ZFS.
All recommendations welcome.
