    Read Linux LVM JBOD in FreeBSD

    Hi! I have an old server with 3 SATA-disks containing ~1.5 TB data. They are set up as a JBOD-volume in LVM on Debian (GNU/Linux) with a single ext3-partition on top. I want to transfer this data to my new FreeBSD-server (with ZFS/RAID-Z), but because of the slow network-connection on the old...

    ZFSguru NAS fileserver project

    Is the ZFSguru web-interface only compatible with Lighttpd, or does Apache2 work as well? Any deamon-specific tunnels perhaps? I think Apache2 is bundled with Squeezebox Server (but could not find it in ports requirements; strange) so it would be nice to use the same deamon for ZFSguru.

    Building your own ZFS fileserver

    What kind of platform is that? Do you run RAIDZ or just a simpler ZFS RAID? I have looked at Super Micro X7SPA-H for a while because of its excellent ICH,small form factor, low power consumption and dual core CPU. But 300 EUR for that kind of low performance and scalability is a bit too much...

    Building your own ZFS fileserver

    Thanks! I will give it a try, very aware of the memory issue. The load is almost 100% sequential and only used by one or two users simultaneously. It is ridiculous to ship a "professional" server with only 1 GB of RAM these days, but the order was made in a bit of a hurry. The prize isn't...

    Building your own ZFS fileserver

    Ok, I see. A HP PL ML110 G6 is on its way (ordered a week ago), but I forgot to order extra memory. Is it possible to achieve about 80-90 MB/s on such modern HW, 3xHD204UI and 1 GB RAM?

    Building your own ZFS fileserver

    Hi guys! My first ZFS-setup really fucks with my brain here. Hardware: - Athlon XP 2200+ - Asus A7N266-VM (nForce 220) - 1 GB RAM - STLab A-224 4-port SATA/RAID-controller (SiI 3114) - WD 80 GB IDE - 3x Samsung F4EG 2TB, HD204UI (ad4, ad6, ad 8) - PCI GbE NIC - FreeBSD 8.1 The...
