What are some good mini-itx boards with 32gb+ ram for esxi?
I currently have Supermicro A1SAi-2750F and Intel S1200KPR
Any Xeon mini-itx boards out, or coming this year that support more than 16gb ram?
Can anyone recommend a good mini-itx board to use with openindiana and napp-it?
I will use a sas controller, so doesnt need to have many on board sata controllers.
Will the new z77 ivy board from asus work?
I dont use compression or dedup.
I take 1 snapshot a day on my media share, and every 6 hours on the esxi datastore.
You should get better write speeds with 5 vdevs, reads should be about the same. You'll loose alot more space to redundancy tho.
1. I have not.
2. I dont have a zil or l2arc atm, but I have ordered 4 ssd disks to use as l2arc and a mirrored zil. I should get them this week.
3. I have 1gbit, and I can easily max that out unless I'm doing sync writes.
I use a seperate zfs share as an esxi datastore atm, and have problems...
I'm using Lian Li EX-H34S. I had to mod the fans a bit to be able to attach the sas to 4sata cables at the back.
I got them from http://www.netshop.no/. Might be a problem unless you're from Norway :)
Just wanted to say I have the same problem. It selects "openindiana-6" after reboot, but napp-it is missing.
If I select the standard boot image it has napp-it, but are missing some packages.
Just to update. I have been testing a bit with new kernel, and I still cant resize it past 16TB.
I can create a new file system bigger than 16tb, but once I try to resize it again it fails.
This is my test system in Vmware. Just added a bunch of disks with thin provisioning to test...
Yeah, I thought about converting to Btrfs, but not sure if it's stable enough. Read some reports of people loosing data after power failures etc.
Maybe I'll just wait and see what comes first; Btrfs fschk or updated version of e2fsprogs.
I have file server that I've kept adding disks to for many years now, and I recently hit a wall when I reached 16TB. The problem from what I can find out is that resize2fs cant resize filesystems past 16TB using ext4. I've been googling a bit and it seems the latest version of resize2fs from...
