Write-up a whitepaper regarding ZFS storage optimized for Filecoin. #318

Open NSC-FIL opened 3 years ago

NSC-FIL commented 3 years ago

  1. Proposed issue: Write up an expert-level whitepaper on zfspool storage setup, best practices, maintenance, and crisis management as it pertains to Filecoin storage (aka mining). Present and discuss the topic during an upcoming SPWG meeting (optional).

  2. Why is this issue important? Many Filecoin storage providers use ZFS as their storage file system. For the most part, there is a general lack of experience or there is limited access to specific knowledge of ZFS as it pertains to Filecoin. This document should provide adequate knowledge and detailed instruction for Filecoin miners to setup, maintain, and troubleshoot their ZFS storage systems.

  3. Tasks a) Find a ZFS expert(s) with direct professional experience setting up and maintaining ZFS storage systems. b) Educate the ZFS expert(s) on Filecoin mining and in particular the I/O requirements of the storage mining process. c) Either hire the ZFS expert(s) to write-up a whitepaper on this topic or gather the information to write-up the whitepaper. d) Arrange to have the ZFS expert(s) do a presentation on the subject during a SPWG meeting (optional).

4. Additional Context

This bounty was a result of a catastrophic incident experienced by a mining operator in the MinerX program while using a zfspool as its storage system. Specific focus on crisis management in the case of disk resilvering and its effects with possible remedies should be included in the whitepaper.

Hi @vnessasgrt, there's a storage architect from Seagate (Slack ID: JohnSuykerbuyk ) who may be qualified and interested in writing up the ZFS document. Can you unassign me and contact him to explain to him how to proceed? BTW I've spoken to Stefaan about this during a SPWG meeting too. Thank you.
