Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I havent had much luck with ZFS onLinux in the past, and hence i usually setup a smartos / solaris vm for that. I am thinking I will run RAID 10 on the Perc, with the BBU and just run EL7's XFS, for the VM Datastore.
Looking to rebuild my vm server and move from ESXi to oVirt or EL7 and Kimchi.
Ok, lets get to the matter at hand....
I have a 15k.7 drive, that will will be hooking up as the os drive.
I have 4x 15k.6 146GB drives that I wish to configure in a RAID 10 for the VM Datastore.

As far as I know, none of them require ECC. ECC is just highly recommended, as you are storing a lot of data in the cache that ECC holds and it would be a shame for something to be written with errors.
There are many writeups on this around the net. I would research before making the choice.
I just installed Nexenta 4 on my ESXi box to replace my nas4free box and I notice that the performance is very sluggish, it just has an overall slow feel.
I have 4 cores and 8gb of memory, and nothing I do seems to get this thing feeling faster.
sshing in is slow, webui is slow, i have...
Wouldnt work that way.. From what I am reading is VT-D needs to be off entirely, in order for this to work correctly. Not possible as I have another card being passed to a vm.
lopoetve, I tried messing with a few more things and I was eventually able to get the card to pass, but then it failed in the VM. I am going to chaulk this card up to having issues with vt-d as I had figured.
Other cards are working fine.
Is there a chart available anywhere that will show the differences between the different 15k seagate drives? I ask this because I have a few of them from different system pulls and I was thinking of setting up a raid 1+0 with them. I just want to make sure its doable and what I may or may not...
Quick hardware:
X7DWN+
Dual L5320's
8GB Ram
LSI 9211-8i
Dell PERC 5i
The LSI is in the 2nd slot down, not the one with the extra ports. The PERC is in the last PCI-E Slot. I currently have the 9211 passed to an OpenIndiana VM to control my media drives. I am not attempting to pass the...
