Getting ready to build my fileserver/openiniana box up.
I have a 16 bay chassis due to arrive as well as 16 hard drives. Drives are: DT01ACA300. I currently have another 5 I could pull at some point to move to this build as well, if needed.
With this build, I am mainly looking to build a file server that may also be used as an iscsi target for some linux and windows machines.
If I understand this from my searching, with these drives I need to config for ashift=12. Also, for raidz3, I need to have the data drives to be a multiple of 3. So for example, I could have 18 data drives and 3 for parity(21 total), and ZFS should be happy? Many of the examples I saw were on smaller disk count.
I also have some 1tb drives as well, these will primary be focused for the iscsi target. I believe I have between 9 and 13 1tb drives, might have more if I look.
Am I on the right path here?.
