There is some confusion going on trying to visualize or design the setup I think will fit my needs. I am hoping that a more seasoned zfs and proxmox king can lend me hand.
The needs:
1. On the motherboard I intend to use a P1600X Optane 118GB storage device for Proxmox, Truenas and any docker container I want.
2. For the backplane I would like to use four 2TB NVMe drives.
3. For the 3.5 bays I intend to use 24TB drives - adding 1 driver each month/quarter
In this setup I would like to emphasis performance and storage. Important files/snapshots are done off-site so there is little appetite for investment in redundancy.
Can someone check this:
1. OS as its own vdev and allocate 64GB as a SLOG device?
2. NVMe drives will be setup as 2 x mirrored 2TB drives > 4TB striped mirror used for special device, ZIL, L2Arc, apps and GPT.
3. Spinning rust setup as Raidz1 in a single vdev > used for media and backup files
So it looks like this:
The constraint is Optane availability but I know that many of you run the SLOG in a mirror. This setup also misses a UPS.
The needs:
- Media server
- Backups as a service
- Private GPT
- Large docker suite
- 12th Gen 12-core
- 96GB RAM
- A2000 ADA
- 4 x NVMe Gen 4 x 4 - Backplane
- 1 x NVMe Gen 3 x 8 - MoBo
- 6 x SATA 3.5 bays
- 10GbE
