I will preface I’m a novice homelab user. I did go to college for my CIT/CIS degrees but that was a long time ago and didn’t do much in the field before pursuing other things. My knowledge is lacking, but I’m capable of learning and understanding. I currently have a PowerEdge 710 LFF running ESXi 6…

Going to mark this solved. Decision was ESXi 8.0.2 with TNC virtualized with HBA330 passed through. Transfers over SMB easily stay at 99MB/s.

I was wondering about the 80% rule. Considering you lose drives to parity adding another 20% loss is quite a punch to the stomach. How much performance loss are we talking the closer you get to 100% capacity? This being a pool that doesn’t do much writing besides one time (media mostly) will it be t…

It’s fine if you understand the risks, and it’s especially fine if you then replicate its contents to your rusty pool. Additionally, as I understand it, the Samsung is a 970 Pro. Which is a PCIe device. Pass it in via PCIe Passthrough.

[image] Stux: Samsung is a 970 Pro I miss spoke earlier. It’s an 860 Pro, so a sata drive. I created a pool, then a dataset as SMB. Gave the Windows Group access like the SAS “WindowsShare” but ti doesn’t show up as an option when you open SMB only the Windows Share folder. Maybe it just tak…

Nevermind, I forgot that doesn’t mean it creates a share. Still need to go into sharing and set it. Works now

A bit off topic but how do you add the arrow drop down for system builds in personal profile?

[image] Serf: How much performance loss are we talking the closer you get to 100% capacity? Performance loss will come with fragmentation, which can be expected to grow as the pool fills but there’s no strict relation between the two. If the pool accumulates writes without ever deleting or re…

I see. I had been reading about fragmentation and the like. Never saw any data about performance numbers so was curious. I doubt I will keep it at 80% so accept that risk but will keep it from being full. I have no room for expansion to mitigate this and doubt I will be building another server anyti…

Start thinking about your upgrade before 80% and do it before 90%. This depends on how fast you fill a pool obviously. Iirc ZFS will begin to throttle your writes at 90% full

[image] Stux: Start thinking about your upgrade I could probably fill to 90% Rather quickly if I brought down 30TB from the cloud plus the 10TB from my OMV pool on the other server. I’m going to be skipping a lot of media from the cloud because I don’t use it. I really don’t want to move away…
