Ah, makes perfect sense, I don’t use the federation and I’ve got all media on a NAS with 24TB of space, so I’ve not really been concerned with space usage… I might want to do some house keeping at some point though.

Glad I hadn’t missed any major.

Thanks for the reply.

I’m curious what maintenance you need to do each month, I’ve been running matrix for well over 5 years and I haven’t done anything other the keep the docker/db containers updated.

Should I have been doing stuff? Now I’m worried.

I tried it with a 4 bay USB 3.2 chassis over USC-C using zfs raidz, constantly had issues with the array just dying and needing to bring it back online manually many times per day. It never got better and latency was an issue too.

Move all drives to a single 8 port pcie card and it worked without issue for years.

Not worth the hassle and expense.
