The next NAS I build will probably be BCache + BTRFS. Since Reddit hasn't given me much of a help as of late, I have been using ChatGPT to get pointers - or local LLMs when I need to use private data I'd rather not send into the OpenAI hellhole. But hey, never knew BCache was a thing, and that it so seamlessly worked with BTRFS... assuming it didn't h allucinate, that is, lul.

zfs + l2arc

Defo on my radar - just not sure if riscv64 can do zfs. Should check tho...would be pretty sick!

lora train the local LLM 😛

Bcachefs is not stable yet even thought Kent work on it have been fantastic. You’d need a very recent kernel to avoid some serious bugs reported in Linux 6.7 and 6.8. Is fast and cool but don’t put your family precious photos in it.

I heared about that. This is why I am betting on using bcache as *just* a cache ontop of BTRFS. This...shoooould - fingers crossed! - work.

Also, tried to plop zfs on my visionfive2 to see if it works. Seems like DKIM couldn't even find my headers... eep. o-o
