Where Does Rockstor Store Config and Pools?
Rockstor system database and Btrfs pool mount paths on Linux NAS servers for shares. Covers defaults.
Last updated
Rockstor keeps system state in a Postgres database with shares and users. Storage pools mount under /mnt2 with Btrfs subvolumes beneath each pool. That tree carries the actual data.
Config backups from the web UI bundle the database with settings. Rock-ons use Docker volumes beside the pools. Back up the database dump with pool contents. The database alone restores structure without files. Rock-ons run container apps. Replication syncs remote pools. Scrubs verify checksums monthly. Snapshots roll back mistakes.
