STORAGE INFRASTRUCTURE NOT VALIDATED** #### **NFS Dependencies:** - **Issue:** Swarm volumes assume NFS exports exist - **Location:** `WORLD_CLASS_MIGRATION_TODO.md:618-629` - **Problem:** No validation that NFS server (OMV800) can handle Swarm volume requirements - **Fix Required:** Test NFS performance under concurrent Swarm container access #### **mergerfs Pool Migration:** - **Issue:** Critical data paths on mergerfs not addressed - **Paths:** `/srv/mergerfs/DataPool`, `/srv/mergerfs/presscloud` - **Size:** 20.8TB total capacity - **Problem:** No strategy for maintaining mergerfs while migrating containers - **Fix Required:** Live migration strategy for storage pools ### **7. HARDWARE PASSTHROUGH REQUIREMENTS** #### **GPU Acceleration Missing:** - **Affected Services:** Jellyfin, Immich ML - **Issue:** No GPU driver validation or device mapping configured - **Current Check:** `nvidia-smi || true` returns no validation - **Fix Required:** Verify GPU availability and configure device access #### **USB Device Dependencies:** - **Z-Wave Controller:** Attached to jonathan-2518f5u - **Issue:** Migration plan doesn't address USB device constraints - **Fix Required:** Decision on USB/IP vs keeping service on original host --- ## 🟡 MEDIUM-PRIORITY ISSUES (Resolve During Migration) ### **8. MONITORING GAPS** #### **Health Check Coverage:** - **Issue:** Not all services have health checks defined - **Missing:** 15+ containers lack proper health validation - **Impact:** Failed deployments may not be detected - **Fix:** Add health checks to all stack definitions #### **Alert Configuration:** - **Issue:** No alerting configured for migration events - **Missing:** Prometheus/Grafana alert rules for migration failures - **Fix:** Configure alerts before starting migration phases ### **9. BACKUP VERIFICATION INCOMPLETE** #### **Backup Testing:** - **Issue:** Backup procedures defined but not tested - **Problem:** No validation that backups can be successfully restored - **Risk:** Data loss if backup files are corrupted or incomplete - **Fix:** Execute full backup/restore test cycle #### **Backup Storage Capacity:** - **Required:** 50% of total data (~10TB) - **Current:** Unknown available backup space - **Risk:** Backup process may fail due to insufficient space - **Fix:** Validate backup storage availability ### **10. SERVICE DEPENDENCY MAPPING INCOMPLETE** #### **Inter-service Dependencies:** - **Documented:** Basic dependencies in YAML files - **Missing:** Runtime dependency validation - **Example:** Nextcloud requires MariaDB + Redis in specific order - **Risk:** Service startup failures due to dependency timing - **Fix:** Implement dependency health checks and startup ordering --- ## 🟢 MINOR ISSUES (Address Post-Migration) ### **11.
