Ok, just rebuilt truenas VM with 8 HDD on stripe 32GB of each of the 14TB drives. 140GB RAM, 16 cores on the cpu. Then setup a ubuntu desktop and mounted the nfs share. 32 cores on the cpu 96GB RAM Ran a speed test from the ubuntu machine's mounted nfs. 140 to 596 MB/s write speed, which...

The extra space would just be used on another machine as mass storage individual drives, no raid, just ext3 Thank you.

So the stripe size does not matter? What matters for RAM is the size of the HDD itself? I only need a small portion of each one. Thanks.

Thank you for the in depth reply. I didn't start off with a zfs, just used the gui for the storage of the node, add disk directory, partition/formated 8gb each drive with ext4 (100MB didn't work). Then I opened Truenas, added the drives as ZFS stripe and shared as a nfs to another VM in...

As i have repeated above, I don't have time to redo everything using passthrough and chance messing something else up, not to mention TrueNas wants the entire hard drive, I only want a small slice of each one to make a super fast striped drive. I see no settings in Truenas to create a pool using...

It's a dedicated server. Top of the line, I have full access, even to the bios, just adding more equipment to it other than what I listed may be problematic. I don't have the knowledge or time to do passthrough. I can add up to about 30 drives on VirtioSCSI, but it is supposed to do more than...

Does anyone else have an answer? I can't swap out hardware, need to know about this virtio thing. Thanks

I'm on an OVH server, software raid. I have no control over putting specialized equipment there, the support is the worst of any provider I have used since 1996. Everything there seems to be virtualized too, a mess to setup and all the documentation is outdated there. I have some idea of what...

Thank you for the reply, I am sure it would, didn't know it could, but I would need a step by step instruction on that, I am guessing install guest utils on the vm and config somewhere on proxmox side? Very new to all this proxmox pass-through stuff.

My proxmox boots from raid ssd. I have 36 HDD attached, 14TB each. For the VM, (FREENAS installed on SSD) I want to add a fast as possible small raid0 (ZSF SETUP) drive on the 36 HDD. So 100mb each drive gives me a 3tb drive to use as a ZSF stripe for a super fast temp drive for another...
