    SnapRaid server - slow performance

    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...

    How to build my 10+TB raid

    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...

    [H]ard Forum Storage Showoff Thread

    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 :(

    How to build my 10+TB raid

    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...

    How to build my 10+TB raid

    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...

    How to build my 10+TB raid

    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...

    What controllercard for my new chassi

    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...

    What controllercard for my new chassi

    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...

    How to build my 10+TB raid

    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...

    How to build my 10+TB raid

    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...
