# Nextcloud Warm Storage Expansion Plan **Target**: Expand from 900GB to 1.5TB for Backblaze backup staging --- ## 📊 Current Storage Status | Component | Current | Status | |-----------|---------|--------| | **Warm Storage** | 900GB | 🔴 **FULL (100%)** | | Mount Point | `/mnt/warm-storage` | Nextcloud VM (192.168.88.62) | | NFS Path | `/nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data` | TrueNAS (192.168.88.25) | | Local Data | 2.0TB | 74% used (1.4TB) | --- ## ⚠️ Critical Issue The warm storage is **completely full (900GB/900GB)**. This will block: - Backblaze backups - Nextcloud uploads - Data synchronization **Action Required**: Expand to 1.5TB ASAP --- ## 🔧 Expansion Steps (When TrueNAS is Online) ### Step 1: SSH into TrueNAS (192.168.88.25) ```bash ssh root@192.168.88.25 # Or use your TrueNAS credentials ``` ### Step 2: Check Current Dataset Configuration ```bash # List datasets on nvme5-1tb pool zfs list -r nvme5-1tb # Check the current nextcloud-data dataset zfs get quota,available,used nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data # Check the pool status zpool status nvme5-1tb ``` ### Step 3: Expand the Dataset (Two Options) #### **OPTION A: Expand Existing Dataset** (Recommended if pool has space) If the pool has 600GB+ available space, expand the quota: ```bash # Increase quota from 900GB to 1.5TB zfs set quota=1500G nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data # Verify the change zfs get quota nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data ``` #### **OPTION B: Create New Dataset** (If pool is full) If the pool doesn't have enough space: ```bash # Create a new larger dataset zfs create -o quota=1500G nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data-new # Copy data from old to new rsync -avh /nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data/ /nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data-new/ # Once verified, delete old dataset zfs destroy nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data # Rename new dataset zfs rename nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data-new nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data ``` ### Step 4: Verify NFS Export Configuration ```bash # Check current NFS exports cat /etc/exports # The export should look like: # /nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data 192.168.88.62(rw,async,no_subtree_check) # If needed, reload NFS exportfs -ra ``` ### Step 5: Remount on Nextcloud VM On Nextcloud VM (192.168.88.62): ```bash # Unmount warm storage (ensure no active connections) sudo umount /mnt/warm-storage # Remount to refresh the size sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.88.25:/nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data /mnt/warm-storage # Verify new size df -h /mnt/warm-storage ``` ### Step 6: Verify Expansion ```bash # From Nextcloud VM df -h /mnt/warm-storage # Should show 1.5T available # From TrueNAS (optional confirmation) zfs get quota,used nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data ``` --- ## 📋 Pre-Expansion Checklist - [ ] TrueNAS is online and accessible via SSH - [ ] Check available space in nvme5-1tb pool - [ ] Verify backup of critical Nextcloud data - [ ] Schedule during low-traffic period if possible - [ ] Ensure no active Backblaze uploads --- ## ⏱️ Expected Downtime - **Unmount/Remount**: ~5-10 seconds - **Option A (Quota Expansion)**: 30 seconds total - **Option B (New Dataset + rsync)**: 1-4 hours (depending on data size) --- ## 🔄 Troubleshooting ### If NFS mount won't remount ```bash # Check for open connections lsof /mnt/warm-storage # Kill processes if necessary sudo fuser -k /mnt/warm-storage # Try remounting again sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.88.25:/nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data /mnt/warm-storage ``` ### If dataset expansion fails ```bash # Check pool space zpool list nvme5-1tb # If pool is full, need to expand the underlying storage pool # This requires physical disk expansion on TrueNAS ``` ### If Backblaze can't write after expansion 1. Restart Nextcloud on the VM: ```bash docker restart nextcloud # or appropriate restart command ``` 2. Check Nextcloud logs: ```bash docker logs nextcloud | tail -50 ``` --- ## 📝 Commands Summary (Copy-Paste Ready) **On TrueNAS:** ```bash zfs set quota=1500G nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data zfs get quota nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data ``` **On Nextcloud VM:** ```bash sudo umount /mnt/warm-storage sudo mount -t nfs4 192.168.88.25:/nvme5-1tb/nextcloud-data /mnt/warm-storage df -h /mnt/warm-storage ``` --- ## 📞 Post-Expansion Verification After expansion is complete: 1. ✅ Verify size with `df -h /mnt/warm-storage` (should show ~1.5T) 2. ✅ Check available space: `df -h | grep warm` 3. ✅ Test Nextcloud upload functionality 4. ✅ Verify Backblaze can write to warm storage 5. ✅ Monitor storage usage for 24 hours --- **Last Updated**: April 27, 2026 **Status**: Pending TrueNAS availability **Priority**: 🔴 HIGH - Warm storage is full
