    Force transfer backups over 10GbE, not 1GbE?

    One 10Gb nic better then 3x dual port 1Gb nic?

    I was wondering if it's better to replace my 3 pcie cards with one 10Gb nic and to use virtual interfaces. I'm mainly wondering about this because it can save some power. Every pcie card takes about 7-15 watt. And I have 10Gb running with my bare metal Freenas boxes anyway. Would there be any...

    Possible to ingest bare metal machine in VM?

    Might be a silly question, is it possible to make an image of an existing disk with OS and have it run as a virtual machine? Like DD a disk to a VM? Thx!

    Only one NIC interface on dual NIC card via PCI passtrough.

    Hi all, I have a couple of supermicro AOC-SG-I2 dual NIC cards with the intel 82575EB chip. I managed to create IOMMU groups following this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/b5xpua/the_ultimate_beginners_guide_to_gpu_passthrough/ Doing so the IOMMU error disappeared and I could...

    Supermicro x9 board recommendation.

    Hi, I have an intel s1200bts serverboard with an E3-1220 v2.
