Long story short 4 months ago I installed Scale on test PC to see and see if the scripts I use on Truenas Core will work. I also always wanted Mergerfs. Raid of any type is not an option.
I managed to install it and have it create the folder mount point once. Had to use the console to run it for fstab did not survive reboots . But that's it, only worked once and had to abandon due other things.
Has anybody had any luck or know if it may be implemented, It's and ideal tool for a home user with virtually no risk.
****************************************************************
Why I don't want or use raid:
1-For home user it's a waste of money, power and HDD bay space.
2-Raid is not a backup as it's also expensive plus you still need a backup plan, see 3 below.
3-Cheaper to buy $60 second hand PC and use those HDDs as a Mirror back up in it, redunancy and backup.
4-Stripe is not a fuse FS. Stripe > lose one HDD lose everything, MergerFS lose one hdd and that's it, not the others.
