Very interesting topic! I can't advice you but i like to have a similar setup.
I'm very interested in the power usage of this system.
i have more question but don't want to hijack this thread.

Server: Realtek RTL8111B LAN Controller
Client: Realtek RTL8111B LAN Controller
Thanks Sub.mesa.
Edit: Can confirm that NFS is even worse. I tried to play a 1080P movie via NFS share onto my Tvix LOTS of stuttering.
oh, missed it...Thanks!
No during the whole file transfer.
Ok, did a CrystalDiskMark check. See picture.
First I have no issues when I'm playing 1080P material from my unRAID server. All connections are wired (Gigabit). When playing from ZFSGuru to my Tvix6600 the picture stutters. When...
Hmm, about my stuttering issue. I noticed something weird when I'm coping files to my ZFSGuru test server. During coping coping pause for 5 seconds every time. Maybe this is related to my stuttering problem. Any idea sub.mesa?
I agree with this! :) I love to read how things are going. This is really a fantastic project. I'll hope that ZFSGuru can replace my unRAID server.
Your new site certainly needs a roadmap and a feature request system.
Just a quick answer related to this. I think this is a bad idea. ZFSGURU is a server not a workstation. I can life with it when you release a separate package for this but this should have a low priority.
Thanks for your extended explanation about my stuttering problem. I still have to do...
Sub.mesa thanks for the update!
Issue: when i'm trying to play a HD movie from my ZFSGURU server the movies is stuttering. Any idea how to solve this? I have 4GB of memory in the server and did a automated tuning of the system.
I experiment a bit with camcontrol today. What i did is execute this command:
camcontrol standby ada0 -t 900
two questions:
- How do i check the status of the drives?
- Can I automate this command (like Linux put this command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local)?
I found why the Zettabyte File System Storage Server gave me "auto sense failed" failures. Guess... a card reader... I have a internal card reader in this system. It is a old DIY Windows home Server. So i disconnected the card reader. Problem solved!
Booting from USB-stick is still a no go...
Did some testing with different USB sticks but all gave the same problems. I saw this error frequently "autosense failed". It has something to do with mounting if I'm correct.
Are these steps also for installation to USB stick? I suppose i can do these steps by hand?
