ROSE storage

Fri Mar 03, 2023 10:31 am

There is a new feature called "ROSE-storage" in V.7.8...
what does it do, how does it work???
First chapter in https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... ge-Summary :

ROSE - package adds additional enterprise data center functionality to RouterOS - for supporting disk monitoring, improved formatting, RAIDs, rsync, iSCSI ,NVMe over TCP, NFS and improved SMB. This functionality currently is supported or arm, arm64, x86 and tile platforms.

O.K. I have RB 4011 based on arm... WHERE should I put SATA or NVMe disks ??? and how???
Please add a freakin' sentence which will describe it just a bit more....

Ok, where does it say that all ARM devices are supported? ... It is assumed that as you read, you can also think!

You don't. The hardware has to have support for those devices, but you can utilize network attached storage with the RB4011.

that's all I was waiting for... for smartass to answer the call ...
Come on, tell me where exactly it says which "arms" it concerns?
If you introduce some new functionality, isn't it polite to describe it culturally and in detail?

But that has nothing to do with you anyway, I don't understand your need to shit unrelated to the question asked...
have a nice life avoid me in future

I agree with you, but where exactly does it say what it refers to and how to do it??? nowhere!!

They don't say all devices can be a NAS server. And those ARMs can reach to sky via NFS, SMB, etc as clients. Including the RB4011, so yeah you need a NAS or another Mikrotik with disks someplace to use ROSE them.

While not helpful with the RB4011, and likely not ideal for performance, ROSE could be used with the USB to disk (on devices with USB). e.g. you can use two cheap USB thumb drives, make the RAID with ROSE, since thumb drives do fail... More device have USB than install space for disks.

Basically ROSE has both client and server support, so if a device doesn't have disk it can use another Mikrotik that does is the general idea I think.

(But totally right the docs are rather incomplete)

[edit: the RB4011 does NOT have a USB port – I confused with the RB2011]

Apologies, wasn't intended to be a sarcastic answer. Have a good day.

ROSE could be used with the USB to disk on a RB4011
RB4011 is an excellent router, but it does not have USB.

Fair enough. I edited.

Same point: new software can't change magically change the hardware... :)

@TomjNorthIdaho, I support people using whatever nouns they want. Now garish font choices... that should only be allowed if you run btest server for the community. :)

But think it's best to just ignore the dumb commentary.

NVME-tcp has nothing to do with physical NVME disks. Target can be USB drive, NVME drive, SATA drive or even part of RAM on the device. Same goes for iSCSI and all other mentioned protocols. ARM based RB1100Dx4 Dude edition supports 4 SATA drives, making it a good candidate for ROSE package testing in target mode.

Documentation ROSE storage says:
RouterOS currently supports SED (Self-encrypting drives) and dm_crypt drive encryption.


Does anyone know how to use dm_crypt drive encryption?

Also LVM and LUKS are not mentioned in documentation, this means no logical volumes and luksFormat support?

I'd love to bump this topic.
ROSE-storage seems like an interesting package which I only can assume should let me mount various storage over the tcp.

Has anyone seen any manuals in the wild?

Hello.
I want to use ROSE with 10TB USB3.0 HDD for NFS and Samba.
But after format drive in ext4 I see only 2TB part.
Firmaware 7.11.2.

What maximum size HDD support ROSE package ?

The documentation for Block device encryption is rather cryptic (...)!

How would I go about encrypting a USB flash drive with a password on RouterOS?

Would it be possible to mount that encrypted drive on Linux system using the same password?

Would it be possible to create an encrypted drive on Linux and transport it to RouterOS?
