Infrastructure:Vesuvius

Revision as of 07:08, 17 November 2025 by Rsk (talk | contribs)

Vesuvius is VTLUUG's 4rd(?)[1] generation NFS server donated by jpo[2]. It aims to replace Dirtycow and host storage for most of our services.

It is a Qumulo 4U-Capacity SAN, with 128GiB DDR4, 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v3 @ 2.40GHz.

It is currently installed as NixOS on a 64GB SSD, netbooting the cluster.

It currently has one (manually created) RAID-Z2 pool mounted at /forge with 8 drives of 12 Tb each, for a total capacity of ~88TB. We have capacity for 48(!) drives, but still only paper (and tape) caddies.
