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

    Hey, just wanted to let you know I've just installed Napp-It on OI-hipster-gui-20131210 (wanted a Gui and current stable does not support i210), no issues. Upon installing Ampo I had to set up the path to mysql though; you might want to include that in ampo2.sh;) Edit: Oh well, to soon :p...

    Storage strategies

    @GoergeHR: I know that:) The problem is there is no tool yet enabling me to override the system defined/derived priorities - or a system with the concept of customer defined priorities (i believe) I mean i can set up a cron job to copy the same 10G data every 4hrs to mark it highly active and...

    SSD Compare on different Samsung 840s

    Well thats what i have - except i dont have it in SFF b/c i wanted to be able to dampen the case if need be (7970 is quite loud under load) but i went aio with it for now. Works great so far and i don't see a reason why it wouldn't.

    Hi, has anyone experience with this 36port SAS expander? Intel claims its only compatible with two of their JBODs - has anyone tested that? I was unable to search here - just getting that weird "Array" message again :(

    Interesting cheap JBODs available

    So basically the backplane is fine only the expander is 3G? Thats great to know, thanks. So all I'd need are some longer cables to hook the backplane up directly... or use a cheap expander as they did on sth for their warehouse build (iirc)... gotta look into that:) Edit: Hm i see cheap and...

    Storage strategies

    Well at some point its a cost issue; i wont be able to save tons of data on SSDs so I'd like to use the next lower level (high speed disk). But those will be full with secondary data as well at a point in time, so I'd want a tertiary level (slow disks) or even a fourth level (tape) to store...

    SSD Compare on different Samsung 840s

    It all depends on what you want to use it for - I use it for a desktop; i dont care whether its 400MB/s or 500MB/s, i got it for price/size value. Its different if i want to use it for ZFS/Storage/high transfer volume setup; then the difference might actually save me a lot of time and then it...

    Storage strategies

    Yes i know that ZFS (Sun/Oracle) claims to be hybrid layered storage but I still see it (L2ARC/ZIL) more as a cache than a storage layer. Its a matter of interpretation, sure;) So what i was looking for was having different layer of (permanent physical) storage available; in particular using...

    Used Supermicro 836 or new Norco 4U-4316L

    Ah energy costs are up to .25€ already over here, so every watt i use more costs me like €2.50 a year. But i agree its not worth paying a premium of >50 bucks... It sure makes sense to pick an adequate one though; i've seen a power supply efficiency comparison over at spcr earlier...
