Mixing Storage - Fast (SSD) and Slow (HDD)
Posted: Mon Jul 27, 2020 9:09 am
Is there a mechanism to store images on SSD and as the SSD fills up, then move the older images onto a hard drive?
So to do this, zoneminder needs to support browsing the older images.
For example, one could use an SSD to store the first 3 days of images. Then older images are occasionally moved off to cheap storage.
I suppose other features would possibly include reducing the fps on the older drive.
So zoneminder might record at 5 fps on SSD. That stores for maybe 3 days. Then "archive" it to HDD at 1fps.
Another possibility might be to have 2 zoneminders, one which is live and recording. Another zoneminder would have access to just the HDD stored trafffic. This then pulls off the load from the live zoneminder when people just want to look at historical images.
Thanks
