I occasionally write long posts but you should assume I'm talking out of my ass until proved otherwise. I do like writing shit sometimes.  

 

50/50 chance of suit pictures end up here or on the Art Directory account. Good luck.

 

Be 18+ or be gone you kids act fuckin' weird.

I want to make a Raspberry pi 0 2 w into a server, and data preserver, I have 2 32GB sticks to upload my data to and preserve (Yes, it is tiny)
Mostly looking for software recommendations/ or pointing me to information that explains this kinda stuff.

I am afraid that my hardware can't meet the needs of software...

512MB of ram might actually be too small for an OS and ZFS. It might work, but it'd be tight. Or you could see how BTRFS runs. I've not touched BTRFS at all.

I have actually thought about "what about just using USB flash drives on a pi with ZFS" before but every time I mess with a pi I run into weird, annoying pi or ARM specific issues. And they're also spectacularly slow compared to even the cheapest Little Guy (8 year old office PC)

Basically, you're going to run into more problems that need to solve because of your hardware. So while it would be an interesting project, I would not trust any data on it without extensive testing. And, again, even if it all works, it's going to be slow.

If you wanted to look up more, I'd be looking at the official documentation for OpenZFS and/or BTRFS and going from there. Since most of what you're doing would be "set up this modern filesystem on my pi" and then maybe "set up a network share on my pi".
