In my case it’s that hard separation between devices. I like reading on the eink screen compared to the phone screen, and there are no notifications to interrupt me. It helps too that the ereader is just ready to use, no decision to fight about what app to open. I tightly manage notifications only phone and it’s still too much of a draw to go doomscroll instead of read. I frequently pull just the reader out and leave the phone so I just use the magnetic attachment to keep them together.

Ok so you’re using docker, the drive is a USB disk?

I think you need to:

• create a mount point folder
• mount the drive in fstab so it’s available on boot
• create a dedicated user for Jellyfin to run as
• make sure the new user has read/write access to the folders with media (this may mean changing ownership, adding to a new or existing group)
• set the docker container to run as the new user
• add the mount point as a volume inside the docker container
• add the folders with media in Jellyfin

More info needed. How are you running Jellyfin? How is the drive attached? What OS?

Not sure what you mean by this - Nabu Casa has a Zwave device already called ZWA-2 which is fully supported.

Bcache can’t differentiate between data and metadata on the cache drive (it’s block level caching), so if something happens to a write-back cache device you lose data, and possibly the entire array. I wouldn’t use bcache (or zfs caching) without mirrored devices personally to ensure resiliency of the array. I don’t know if zfs is smarter - presumably is can be because it’s in control of the raw disks, I just didn’t want to deal with modules.

For your second scenario - yes you can use md under bcache with no issues. It becomes more to configure but once set up has been solid. I actually do md/raid1 - luks - bcache - btrfs layers for the SSD cache disks, where the data drives just use luks - bcache - btrfs. Keep in mind that with bcache if you lose a cache disk you can’t mount - and of course if you’re doing write-back caching then the array is also lost. With write-through caching you can force disconnect the cache disk and mount the disks.
