My freenas system is a super micro board, 32 gigs ECC memory. 12 x 2tb drives.
I used to have it configured with 4 x 3 raidz vdevs. I was very weary of the chance of 2 disks going down would wreck everything. So I redid my config and made a BIG mistake. I moved everything off and reconfigured to 1 vdev with 12 x 2tb raidz2. My performance for my ESX lab and what not went to crap (yep, big mistake on my iops.)
Soooo considering making some changes again, but not 100% on the best course of action. Definitely need to get my performance back up, so single vdev doesn't seem to be ideal for that. But would like to maximize my capacity as best I can.
Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on maybe if I should go with 2 mirrored vdevs? would each of those need to be raidz or raidz2 or just stripped?
Or should i look at a different configuration? Not sure if if slog or zil would help in my case yet based on smaller size of my setup.
Thanks for any recommendations!
