Hey guys, I was able to OpenIndiana and nappit installed and configured with Raid Z2 with 8 2 TB drives, but I feel like my knowledge ends there. Are there any learning resources to really understand the system settings and configuration settings in nappit/openindiana? Thanks

I live in Kentucky, so the heat would kill the server.

Eulogy: How do you handle the heat in the summer? Does it overheat your servers?

I have a supermicro server that I want to use for my home lab, but it is a bit too noisy for me. Is it possible to replace the fans with quieter ones? This is the model: Supermicro I got this server for free, so I want to use it if I can. Thanks

I might be interested in your router and the cheaper ESXi host. I sent you a pm.

I guess I didn't do a good enough job with my original post in this thread talking about my vdev setup. I have a pool with 2 vdevs with 4 drives each. Each vdev is a raidz1 meaning 2 parity drives for the pool. I read online that it's better to have more vdevs, which is why i set it up as 2...

OK, i have 2 vdev's that are both raidz1. If i were to change that and re-create both of the vdevs, i would have 4 of the 8 drives for parity which means i only get to use half of the space. Is this correct? If i have 2 vdevs both a raidz1, doesn't that mean each vdev would have a parity drive...

Thanks for the info.

zfs list XXX shows the right amount. I read your first post wrong which led me to try to run that command LOL. Should i just not worry about Windows reporting the right size?

When i run zpool info i get "unrecognized command 'info'".

How is it looking for trouble? If 1 dies i can have a new one to me in 48 hours to rebuild. I dont have 14 TB of data now so it wont take long to rebuild.

I have a very noobish question to ask. I created a pool with 4 2TB drives and then created a vdev with 4 more 2TB drives all in a raidz1. That should total 14 TB free (unless im wrong, which could be the case). When i look at the pool in napp-it, it tells me that I have 14.5 TB free space. When...

I uninstalled teracopy and im now getting 80-100MB/s! I had no idea teracopy would cause this issue. Thanks again everyone!

I will uninstall teracopy now and try again. FYI - I'm using 4 GB of ram 4 x 1gb sticks.

I will try a few things tonight.
