I started a new lnd node, waiting for a weekend to catch lower fees and to open some channels tomorrow. First channels will be to those who returned me btc after penalty transactions.
I made some improvements to avoid another data loss:
- using Terramaster NAS and internal SSDs to store lnd data. So better cooling, and no half-functioning USB-to-SATA reductions. For example, one such reduction does not support TRIM, so who knows what it does with write caches.
- disabled write cache
- still using ZFS, but without encryption. There are several bugs related to encryption, Gentoo wiki warns against using encryption (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ZFS#Caveats). But those are mostly related to send/receive, still it should avoid one possible source of problems.
- of course using 1 redundant disk - zfs mirror
