FS: Ryzen 5 1600 / ASUS ROG Strix X370-F Combo,EK ThreadRipper waterblock for $285, is it still aviable, do you have any RAM? How much if so.

Unstoppable Copier, great for mass file transfers. and it will tell you if there was an issue with any file without stopping the copy http://www.roadkil.net/program.php?ProgramID=29 Copy files to your new NAS setup or to a larger drive setup. Then backup. I would recommend building a ZFS NAS...

Looks Nice, but the required specs are a bit high for my system. I have a single core Atom 450 CPU at 1.6GHz. Recommended System Specifications Intel i3 or comparable dual-core 64-bit processor 1 GB of system memory (RAM) 15 GB of disk space Internet access

-Lubuntu -I basically did this when I installed Debian Server then I installed LXDE, I have been installing only the packages I need to sort of make a "skinny" version of Lubuntu. So far so good. -antiX -I have no idea how I missed this one since it was on the distrowatch list. look rough...

Yep. 64 bit uses 250-300 MB more ram and I did not see much improvement on the YouTube video decoding. It is a bit more snappish then Mint XFCE. Thanks, I think I found my OS.

I am installing Mint 64 bit now. I will get back once I do. I have no ideal how that will work with Windows though.

Yep, but I dont have a spare one, and I really dont want to put any money into them. They are 8 years old.

I was also looking into different OS systems to run. FreeNAS, is near the top of my list, but ProxMox look nice as well since it has native ZFS support as well as a lot of virtual machine built right in. What do you use? are you happy with it?

Will try. Messing around with SLAX. I was having issues with youtube with Mint XFCE. would not do 720p. Ran 240 fine though. I did some research and it looks like the 64bit version decodes video better than the 32 bit version. So I will try that as well as smooth scroll disable. I have a...

Thanks, currenlty using ZOL with ubuntu server. But I am looking into useing FreeNAS instead.

Wow, It has been a long time since I have used KDE, looks very nice, I will give it a try. I am also building a base install from debian server + LXDE + other apps. I want to see the usablity. sorta like the idea of linux from scrach. Thanks.

Ok, this just thought to me the 2TB drives I have may be 512 drives and not 4K, I know from past bads this is bad. Is there away to force ashift 12 instead of 9? or should I separate the 2TB pool as a separate zpool instead of a vdev of my current pool until more drives can be sourced.

Hello, I have recently goring a few Levono S10-3 Netbooks they come with a Atom 450 CPU at 1.6Ghz (Single Core) and 2 GB of ram. They look almost new, but come with Windows XP licensees. So I have been looking into lightweight linux OS to run instead. I have tried Mint 18.1 Mate 32 Bit...

Ram is maxed out on my system at 32GB of DDR3 registered (8x4GB), so I cant go any higher. Well, since this is mostly used like a WORM storage high IO would not really be needed. at most I will have 4 different connections pulling different files for payback.

Currently setting up to do Zpool Media01 (raidz3) vdev 19x4TB vdev 19x4TB (really a mix of 4TB and 3TB, I will replace all drives with 4TB as I fine them) + Hot spare I decided on this for 5 reasons 1. I don't have enough 4TB drives right now for a 35 drive setup (3 drives have tested bad...

I am not sure by how much my IOPS will increase, since my upgrade path was a bit odd. I did not start out with 33 empty drives, but as my zpool filled up, then I expanded or added a new vdev. so the pool is not filled evenly (files split among all drives and vdevs) so not every drive is...

Ok, I have done a lot of reading and it looks like as long as I am using 4k drives (I am) that going upto 32 disks per vdev is ok. But I cant find any performance info on it other thank IOPS will be in the 1 disk drive. which is fine since most disk provide 120-180 MBps now, so my main...

Ok, I am about to upgrade my last set of 2TB hard drives to 4TB and am wondering how bad of an idea is it to make just one large pool instead of 3 smaller vdevs Right now I have 3 vdev at 11 raidz3 disk each (11x4TB, 11x4TB, 11x2TB), I want to go to one 35x4TB raidz3 + hot spare (36 disk...

This array had no snap shots

anyone have any ideas on the pool configuration I should go with. I am leaning towards the mirrored drive pool Media01 vdev1 2x3TB vdev2 2x3TB vdev3 2x3TB vdev4 2x3TB vdev5 2x3TB vdev6 2x3TB vdev7 2x3TB vdev8 2x3TB vdev9 2x2TB vdev10 2x2TB vdev11 2x2TB ect.. But I am worried...

Ok I was able to add a single disk vdev and expand the array, I am now moving data off of it.

Hello I need help and my google searches have done nothing to help me in the last 2 hours. I have a pool media03 that had 20 GB of free space. I know its not idea to let the pool fill up this much but I was going to move some data to anouther pool (media02) once I got enough drives to fully...

I have to ask, Why do this mod? I have several of these units and I have modified them to be much quieter, but I never bothered with the port multiplier (other than a new heatsink+thermal paste+fan mod) What is the performance gain over the the OEM hardware vs the cost put into the unit. I...

well i was going with a 19 disk Raidz3, but since I had exactly 11 3TB disk I went with 11 Disk Raidz3, thanks all, this thread can be locked now.

is there some easy formula I can use to determine how i should setup my disk? I don't really care about speed of the array since I will be limited to a bonded gigabit bandwidth (2x1Gig) anyway. but I want to setup for maximum space with the correct amount of drive protection as well. I have...

well, right now I am wasting about 7Tb of space so Im up. I have 9-3TB drives 9-2TB drives one 16 bay case, one hotswap case (2 bay) that I have been using for backup and to replace the disk in my array.

so how do I fix it?

would I be better off backing my data up, destroying the pool and making a new one with ashift=9, this is mostly a Read only pool so write speed does not matter as much as space does. so I just want to get the most space out of my unit as possible. according to my quick math I should be getting...

yes it says ashift: 12, should i change this? and how would I? MOS Configuration: version: 5000 name: 'media03' state: 0 txg: 76309 pool_guid: 15985232323593502269 hostname: 'nas1' vdev_children: 1 vdev_tree...

not really sure how to check 512 vs 4k (I thought that even mixing the only resulted in lower read/write performance and should not affect capacity at all) but here is all the flags set on the pool NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE media03 size...

Hello, I have a 16 disk RaidZ3 arrary that had a mix of 3TB, 2TB, and 1.5TB disk units in it. I was getting 15.5TB of usable space. Then I replaced the last 1.5TB disk with a 3TB disk and set the autoexpand flag to on. I shut down my system to replace the 1.5TB disk with the 3TB after the...

Thanks for all the help I setup a 6x3TB Raidz2 array, for a test I pulled one of the disk with the array loaded with 5TB of data, decent speed 215 MBps Rebuild, Sata 2 (3.0 GBps ports) Rebuild -200-225 MBps Read -400-430 MBps Write -300 MBps, not an issue even with the bonded adapter, (2000...

well thanks, but it doesnt really answer my question on rebuild error rate on 3 TB drives,

I just got 2 of these drives off of ebay for $125 each, they havent come in yet, but I will post some raid specs if i get the chance (they are going into 2 different system so its a mater of time to do the testing)

Hello, I am currently wanting to add some more space to my current ZFS build, and have 5x3TB drives (WD green and seagate green) drives, can anyone give me the risk of raidz vs raidz2 vs raidz3 (I know that raidz = 1 lost disk, raidz2 = 2 lost disk and raidz3 = 3 disk lost, but how likely Im i...

looks awesome, to bad its high point, Im currently building my setup with 3x8port IBM cards for 24 ports at less than $70 for all 3 cards (used ebay), but if there's a market for it, i guess some unlucky souls will end up with them

nope, not at all, i wanted to keep this entire upgrade under $300 65€ for 8gb of 1600 is about $85 US so thats what i was finding here, 47/16 is less than $3 per gb, so not bad,

Memory: 16 GB (4x4GB) PC3-8500 ECC $47 The cheapest price i could find for 8GBx2 was around $90 for the 106 and around 120-140 for 1333 to 1600 If youhave a cheap source please tell me. I can still add 4 more modual if I need to. -1 Im cheap, and 2 this unit will be doing some video...

OK, I am new to the ZFS data storage thing and have a few questions, and yes I have googled it before asking, sizes rounded up for easy math -Unit is mainly used for storage, will be accessed over a 2x1Gbps Bonded addapter, to upto 10 machines, but 5 mostly, (2 XBMC units, 1 laptop, and 2...
