    best practise for ZFS over iSCSI? (FreeNAS)

    Hi, I guess ZFS over iSCSI would be better than just use iSCSI share + LVM on top of the iSCSI share, since it gives the benifit of easy snapshot and clone right? So I have a new installation of FreeNAS to provide iSCSI. Is it best to use a new zvol and device type extend or a new dataset...

    Wrong device for boot due to passthrough pci sata adapter

    I'm trying to passthrough a pci-e Avago LSI 9211-8i to a freeNAS virtual machine. I got pretty far: - adapter shows up properly during bios boot - freeNAS installed properly and can be run as long as the adapter is not passthrough The LSI adapter messes up the boot order and the SeaBIOS only...
