Patchwork File Server
by Terry K Posted on: 9/19/2023Build Description
Built as a general purpose server and introduction into the homelab hobby. Originally started from a junk pc and transformed into a full-fledged on-demand server. After several years of upgrades, the server has grown to an impressive size of 40TiB in a zfs raid-z2 pool.
