so one Xserve er ah the high-speed nvme nos that all our editors used to edit 4k 8k video and the like it's completely full Newton server the mechanical based vault where we store all our old projects that's completely full - and to make matters worse our new red weapon camera capable of recording footage at a whopping 8k resolution is also here and capable of filling up its 1 terabyte Meg's at a rate of up to 300 megabytes per second yes a 3 second clip that could be as much as 1 gig fortunately Seagate oh there go the rails you might say this projects gotten off the rails already fortunately Seagate and 45 drives have partnered up with us which means they gave us hardware to solve this problem once and for all today we are installing a petabyte of storage in our freshly renovated server room so come along for the ride Brow's privately and securely with tunnel they're the simple VPN app try tunnel bear for free at the link in the video description hey guys so would it be a problem if I shut down the vault for a couple hours the vault could I shut that down for a couple hours lock it down oh good look who we are the key burn Burnett's don't know don't you know why don't we even talk to you people on TSN games you brought more around it I like this guy so I guess now's a good opportunity to introduce our friends from 45 drives so this is Bret Kelly who is what what exactly I'm an electrical engineer ok education and I've been while doing just a little bit everything since I got 45 cars and then this is Nicole whose last name I forget Morrison horses yes good you got it yeah I look after the marketing ok so here we go I did manage to at least open the top of the box that is as far as I got yeah as far as look at that documentation that I ruined okay so you guys have made some significant changes to the story inator since the last time that I got my hands on one yes now it has a screen it has a screen oh no I'm not doing that it's yours okay I got this ah yes it's stuck it's stuck there you go yes let's see what happens if I unscrew these without oh yeah that was fun bitch hey I drop things all the time I got to be good at catching them so now you guys have like a tool list mechanism for the drives now instead of that well it was toolless before but it was kind of like a dumb tool list now it's like a really smart tool list cool so it's like a friction mount and in terms of oh wow it looks like it did get a little bit winged and shipping there look at that Oh guess who might just have to take a hammer to it nervous chuckle send it - can you not hammer our expensive survey machine well no there we go okay so what's in here so we've got our two rocket carts rocket 750 made by highpoint yep they may connect on to the LCD screen there we have a two-port Intel 10 gigabit nic rj45 copper okay 64 gigs of ram soon to be 128 and a much more high efficient power supply than the one you had last time okay cool yeah find the rest sorry wait in your boot a couple of screws fell into my boob so with our introductions and the unboxing out of the way it's time for the most exciting part inventory time so you might actually be wondering why we need so much ram and the answer to that question is brett on his way over here stopped and doubled up our memory because basically ZFS as you add more and more storage to it we're going to be putting about 400 terabytes of storage in each of these boxes uses ram as sort of like a like a map to where the data is so that's why all of a sudden we went from 64 gigs being perfectly acceptable to really wanting 128 gigs so we're going to have that much in each of our systems oh did you cut yourself oh that's uh that happened fast we've already got first blood already an injury nice a nice knuckle one too so it's always an awkward band-aid right oh man and it takes forever to heal I know I was going out I'll go well it'll go away no see this is why techies don't like sharing their screwdrivers I'm putting these screws in by hand well this guy over here yeah you know what no fine don't just keep it just keep just keep it oh I'll damn it I can't even find it yeah yay okay so this sucks there's some shipping damage on our server so we're gonna have to fix that before we go move to the fun part of loading it into the server rack it's like I'm sure proto cases like metalworking engineers are rolling in their graves they're not even dead yet they're rolling in their graves watching me work on metal so I look pretty pretty straight right there yeah that's right see I may not be good at doing things properly but I'm good at doing things the crappy way now you might be thinking to yourself gee Linus this server sure doesn't have a lot of hard drives in it to which I would reply maybe I am the hard drive and then everyone would groan and cringe and all that and then I would give you the real response which is we're not ready to put the hard drives in yet because these Excel 60-story Nader's can way freaking what like a hundred pounds probably with sixty drives in them yeah you do not want to move these around full so we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna install the drives once they're already on the rails as we switch jobs assignment I was defeated before were you yeah oh I didn't notice oh here yeah I couldn't have ourselves yeah there we go there we go yeah we're working this snake together so you didn't feel dirty until I said that did it so yeah so you pull and I feet there we go I get how this works good wait no that's not right no what's going on with you in this backwards this is my end are you sure I know what the problem is goes this way really okay and now we've got it backwards you were the fuller there we go hey I'm glad we got this sorted out I mean I don't get them all straight though it's way easier this time I'd have hated for this to get embarrassing when you're me you got to learn to be real good at catching okay this is starting to worry me now a little bit this water-cooled server has to move to the bottom of the rack in the event that there's a leak the last thing we want to do too is new $50,000 worth of enterprise-grade Seagate hard drives not to mention the story inators I actually want to move these existing story readers up to put petabyte project at the very bottom networking cables here heavy hard drives here as I like them bottom heavy baby you've seen my wife I clearly don't like them hot heavy like he thinks he's here to install petabyte project he's actually just helping me to server room maintenance I got this side yeah I got as much of this song as I can oh look at that that's not so been good server room crap with Linus and Brett use the bottom server as a shelf for the top server no problem so update time we have Delta 1 and Delta 2 servers deployed we've got our network configuration all set up or running sent to s and it is time now to load in one petabyte of hard drives oh you know what let's just take one box at a time is first drugs going in here it goes oh that's a tight fit there there we go oh that's in ok so now we just got to do that uh 97 more times here we go I guess it gets less exciting after the first couple yeah really I turned my back for like five second rule-- sis five seconds okay let's just let's just get this stupid thing out of here I'll figure out how to get it taped on their property lit properly later okay okay so hold on let's go all the way back let's start at the beginning okay so all the drives are in we're ready to fire it up so first we take our hard drives and we separate them into V devs that's correct then we take those V devs and we combined them into is that I fast pools yeah and the beautiful thing is it's all one command it does it for us we just tell it what we want to build okay then we take those pools and we divide them up into bricks and then bricks we use to build up our a cluster FS cluster filesystem you got it so bluster handles the scaling the ZFS layer handles the devices failure all that fun stuff so with cluster then we could add more store Nader's to have more than a petabyte of data or we could add two more identical story inators and we could have redundancy yeah okay let's get started so it looks like we might have a bunk drive ok so we'd found the device that's spitting out errors it's this guy right here so what we're going to do just a basic troubleshooting step is we're going to swap it with a drive that is working vice SDA q again so that's the slot that cable would be bad that'd be really bad like that is our farthest so you're thinking hard right now it turns out I don't have the right cards here to throw in a replacement if the card is bad but honestly that to me looks not as much like a card issue and more like a connection issue so what we haven't tried yet it's just a simple unplug and plug back in at the HBA level once I just pop them all pop them all back in or oh no you know which one it is okay we got it s da Q is back so the solution was we actually have a port on the card that was kind of bunk but the good news is these are what uh ten port so these are 40 Drive cards so we moved everything over one everything's up and running we're ready to rock okay whew I thought for a minute there Seagate was going to have a bad drive in their sponsored video where 45 drives was gonna have a bad port on their on their case in their sponsored video or natum in 40 yeah hilarious yeah ro a three point eight gigabytes 3.8 gigabytes per second check that out count all the places kids three billion eight hundred and two million two hundred thirty two kilobytes per second windows reports even after all the space lost to ZFS to redundancy to Gluster to solar flares 778 terabytes of storage so we have effectively more than quadrupled the old space on the vault which by the way was like super done like super duper done for the file move test file Ariella and gigabyte file yeah baby those are spinners so let's read off it back to a back to a hardware raid are you ready so we're reading at a consistent one gigabyte per second absolutely gorgeous so there you have it we're all done petabyte project is complete III's tma-2 modular headphone system lets you create your own headphones and offers more than a thousand

thank you for coming out it works reasonably well not as well as my new one but thank you man you're very welcome so I guess that's how it works we just we trade a petabyte for a used KVM switch that's right it is the greatest person ever eight porch VGA VGA I'll get you some cables too I don't think I can give you all eight cables though now I got plenty of cables oh you do yeah no you're gonna project oh yeah I'll give you a couple
