How i used MergerFS to connect a NFS to my local disk
Sooner or later, every self-hosted setup runs into the same wall: you need more storage, but you don't need a distributed storage cluster. Maybe you have a media server whose library keeps growing, or a backup target that's slowly filling up, or a homelab with three or four machines that each have some spare disk sitting idle. The obvious answers, Ceph, GlusterFS, or a full-blown SAN, are overkill...
