Hey Fedi!

I need to convert a 4TB RAID array. I will move the data off it and then back. Currently it's NTFS (and Windows). When I'm done, it will be LVM+EXT4 (and Linux).

Does the file system of the intermediate storage make any difference to the speed or otherwise? If yes, what would be best? (I might hit the 4GB file size limit on FAT32.)

Also, is this best done by copying files, or would it be faster (probably not safer) to manipulate the existing partition?

vVols is dead: https://www.techtarget.com/searchstorage/news/366627334/Broadcom-discontinues-vVols-storage-capability-for-VMware

Not too surprising, even pre-Broadcom #VMware put most of its emphasis on VSAN. But this was a nice technology for storage vendors to expose higher-level services into the ecosystem.

I think network attached #storage still lacks a standard way for users to express volume-level actions like snapshots or clones. But maybe I'm just out of touch? Is there any CNCF project standardizing volume management, or something in the Kubernetes ecosystem that everyone supports?
