On my Nextcloud server, a file is backed by a file. It's under (in my
case) /opt/nextcloud/data/richard/files. Yes you have to go digging for
it, and it's not recommended to modify it directly, but it's there.

Well, well, well! Thank you. I found the analogous directory, and a
quick diff confirmed. That's good to know.

Can you explain to me what type of storage you intend to setup on the pi4 -
USB3 disks?

Does someone has experience with USB3 disks - may be in raid1 on the Rpi4?

I tried years ago with usb2 disks in raid1 and the results were miserable.

regards

I am currently running 2 SSD's, a 120GB and a 240GB on usb-3 to sata 
adaptors, working flawlessly on a pi4's usb-3 ports. 

It took several experiments with adaptors to find good ones though. The 
adaptor would die, but the ssd was fine once the adaptor was replaced 
with a different brand.

I've disabled the installs default 10 meg swap file, and added a swap 
partition on the 120GB set for 10GB, which its gets into by a bit less 
that 100megs building a realtime kernel, or LinuxCNC, on a 2Gig rpi4, 
basicly changes to reduce the write wear on the 64GB u-sd the pi boots 
from. Logs are the majority of the write ops on the u-sd now.  And 
useing 64G u-sd's seems to spread out that wear, I've had no trouble 
with it.

Cheers, Gene Heskett

I plan to use a 1TB 2.5-inch USB3 disk drive, powered via the USB cable from the Pi, as a first try.  If that's successful and the family needs more space for shared files, I plan to move to a USB3 multi-disk box with its own power supply.  I'll probably configure the box as a JBOD so I can use software RAID.

USB2 disks are, of course, slow by modern standards, but they do work -- as long as you don't overload the bandwidth.  Is that what you mean by "miserable".    USB3, on the other hand, is plenty fast enough for a NAS driving a 1Gbit LAN -- depending on the speed of the underlying disk drives, of course.

I've done this kind of configuration before.  If you have specific questions, I'll be happy to try to answer them...
Enjoy!
Rick
