    Wallye Tactik Duffle for SFF carry (M1, A4, SG13, laptop + eGPU)

    Is V2 the same size or a similar size as V1? Will either accommodate a Kimera Cerberus?

    Hey Argentum, I saw your post where you mentioned upgrading a 10x2TB to a 10x8TB (Seagate SMR) vdev. I have 2 10x vdevs that I need to replace/upgrade and I had been looking at the Toshiba 5TB and even the 6TB drives. I was afraid of going with the 8TB drives because of the horrendous write...

    Anyone know where I can buy a Chenbro CK2804?

    Shit, I was going to say I think I might have one laying around lol. I replaced it with the 36p HP SAS Expander. Better choice.

    lowering Power Consumption / Potential server rebuild

    In the same boat. 20 spinning drives in ZFS and looking to lower power consumption as well as increase flexibility. It's not easy adding 10 drives at a time on the wallet. Subbed.

    3 disk errors RAIDZ2

    Unfortunately I can't back up 20+TB of data. I have backups of about the most important 1.5TB of data. I turned the server off until I get the disks in from RMA to prevent any problems. I will report back with the answers though.

    3 disk errors RAIDZ2

    Hey all, I'm in a pickle and need some advice from the ZFS gurus. I've got 2 10 drive RAIDZ2's in my pool. 3 disks from one of the vdevs are throwing me read/write and checksum errors. I've swapped cables and ports on the HP SAS Expander to no avail. The only thing other than drives I...

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    Just replying because I have the same question. Spun down, my array is about 100w less of power. When I gave it a shot, clients fail to mount shares right away. Can't have this.

    Expanding ZFS RAIDZ2

    Thanks guys, Got everything up and running. Moved from my CM590 to a Norco 4220. Did an export on the pool, installed new hardware, then did an import once everything was up and running. I appreciate all the advice. System: Norco 4220 CPU: Athlon X4 840 RAM: 8GB DDR2-800 Mobo: Gigabyte 785GM...

    ZFS: Swapping drives and 3TB limit

    Thanks for the replies guys. I will make sure to export the pool before I move it to the new machine, and then import it once I get the new machine up and running. @PigLover, What kind of problems were you having with a SAS2008 chip and older Chenbro expander on SE11? I'm running OpenIndiana...

    ZFS: Swapping drives and 3TB limit

    Hello, I just picked up the Norco 4220 from Newegg for $299 + free 1.5TB HDD. I currently have 10x2TB RAIDZ2 in a couple 5bay hotswaps on a USAS2-L8i. I also have 10x1TB that I am going to put in a RAIDZ2 and add to that pool. (Eventually replacing with 3+TB) I'm gonna pick up a CK12803...

    Expanding ZFS RAIDZ2

    I understand that completely, and that's how I figured it worked. But Spazoid said that I don't need to replace every drive to get the added space in his previous post. That confused me a bit. Also, another question I had. If I have a 10 disk vdev of 2TB drives, and a 10 disk vdev of 1TB...

    Expanding ZFS RAIDZ2

    Pretty insightful. Yes Pig, it suits my application just fine. As long as I won't see reduced performance due to the 1st vdev being full. I suppose if I pulled off ~2TB of data at a time to a network drive, then replace it I could get it to rebalance. Would it be of benefit to add another...

    Expanding ZFS RAIDZ2

    Hello, I currently have a 10 drive RAIDZ2 of 2TB drives. It is a total of 14.2TB useable, and has 1TB free. I know I shouldn't have went over the 20% free rule. Assuming I add another 10 drive RAIDZ2 to the pool, will I have performance issues considering it won't re-stripe across the whole...

    A quick ZFS question: 4k sector drive mix

    tdg, I'm a little confused about your post here. Assuming a 6 drive RAIDZ, the data is still striped across 6 drives because parity is striped as well. Am I wrong? Please explain. I have a 10 drive RAIDZ2 of Hitachi 512b drives. I was told 10 drives for RAIDZ2 will provide optimal...
