@cwt Thanks for taking the time to break it all down in such detail, I really appreciate it. Thanks, I'll have a read while I wait for my Enterprise drives to arrive.

And I have to ask before committing to the money, with the following in mind what advantages am I going to see with high end desktop TLC like FireCuda, 990 Pro, T500 vs enterprise hardware; R730xd is limited to PCIE 3 x16 bifurcated to 4x per drive I have redundant PSU with 3000kva UPS's and...

OK so if I were to start again with, for example, 4 x Micron 7450 3.84TB for high performance and keep the existing disks for less demanding uses. What would be the best practice for configuring the Micron array? My instinct says RAIDZ1, I don't need the speed of stripped mirror, I "shouldn't"...

The theory was double redundancy for hardware failure but the IO performance is such a punish I would be better off moving to 2 separate mirrors. Noted, I started with code then second guessed myself and changed it to quotes. Back to the drawing board to figure out the best way forward....

I have used NVMe for SLOG in the past but from what I've read adding NVMe to the R730 is tricky, only specific drives supported in specific configurations. I was hoping some half decent SATA SSDs would be good enough but it would appear not. Edit: Upon further reading it seems this is only an...

I had no idea the performance difference was so significant.

Thanks team, I was wondering if RAIDZ may not be the correct choice.

Hello Team, Trying to get the to bottom of underwhelming disk performance with ZFS, particularly random spikes of High IO wait. I know this topic has been done to death, I've tried tuning parameters, I have CPU and RAM to spare, on SSD disks but I just can't work out why the whole server just...

Well would you look at that, from looking at the apt logs it looks like libsensors3 was updated during the install of apcupsd on saturday and now sensorsd tells me everything I need to know via the i2c interface, never would have guessed that one. Thanks for your output Ernie, it put me on the...

Your halfway correct, no it will not do kvm virtualization but openvz containers still work a treat, which is fine as all my servers are linux based. 1.6GHz 64bit hyper threaded dual core that uses just 8 watts, perfect for low-mid demands. lmsensors is installed, sensors-detect needed to be...

[SOLVED-more or less]Update coretemp.o for Intel Atom support? I am running an iso installed version of Proxmox 1.3 dist-upgraded to 1.4 on an Intel Atom 330 rig and would like to add temp sensor support for the cpu, I have collected a few different versions of coretemp.c source code with atom...
