2.24 means that you currently have 2.24 processes in queue for computing. with two cores (two threads) if you have 2.0 the cpu is fully used, with 1.5 it's no problem and with over 2.0 you have something that will havbe to wait untill another computation is completed. so it seems that your...
Yes, I am aware of this, but I think I will stick with mdadm for my "growing storage" for now, because if I go with ZoL I cannot add one disk at a time as I need them, I will need to have all disks in place from the beginning or add at least 3 at a time (RaidZ2) and then I would probably want to...
There's some impressive systems out there I must say. As soon as I get my new chassis, I will take a few pictures of my rack and show it off, won't make it to the featured list though :(
Yeah, I can totally see how you want to get an "it just works" environment at home, I myself is running Apple pretty much everything, but my server is where I put energy to make things work, not because I neccesarily need to, but because I feel a sense of accomplishment getting things/services...
I've heard some scary things about unraid, for example
Sure, you could be running BRTFS ontop of it (or so I've heard) and get that fixed, but then again, btrfs is quite new and relativly untested, so I'm not too sure about that. Yes, I'm a bit afraid of new things when it comes to my storage...
Yes, I have seen the zfs on linux initiative, and It's got me interested, however I'm a bit concerned about the stability of this. Is it "safe" to run as a live environment? Haven't read a lot about it, so I'm a bit sceptical.
Does it have the same need for RAM as freenas has recommended, as...
I will look into the m1015 card, thank you!
I will look into your card as well, the one that works with expanders sounds quite interesting!
I will be using software raid and a dedicated card because the Chassi I've chosen have an active backplane which supports up to 122(or so) disks on a...
Hello HardForum,
I've recently ordered myself a chassi from supermicro, the SC836BE16-R920B and now I've began to think about what controlelrcard I need for it, it will obviously need to have a 8087 connection internally, and since I will start off with "just" 5 drives, I dont feel the need to...
The main purpose of my storage is to archive non critical files, all critical files are saved on multiple locations. eventhough I should consider a ZFS array to prevent my data from being corrupt by time
IF I were to virtualize my NAS I would have an LSI controller that can be passed-through to...
Hi,
I'm about to buy myself a little christmas present, and I have gotten to the point where I'm not really sure of how I should move forward.
I will start off with 5x4TB drives with the goal of 12TB of storage, i.e. Raid6 or RaidZ2.
I have got an server today running a raid6 with 2TB...
