That's because i5/i7 *DO NOT* support ECC. That's what the Xeon is for...
[...]
I have a i3-4130 CPU on a C224 motherboard sporting 16GB of RAM [...]
and that they're "out of warranty" on the C226. Though again I don't know what that really will mean in practice.
Just though I'd add - even though Kingston KVR16E11/8I is not listed as compatible RAM by ASRock for the E3C226D2I it works perfectly @ 1600MHz
Will this be sufficent/anything I've missed?
Can you elaborate on that? What is tested here... would such an event be only issued from the board if ECC is working or is it more a test of the error reporting by the application software (FreeNAS)?When I send an ECC event using "ipmitool event 3", I see the following in the event log (viewable from the board's web interface):
5301/05/2014 00:24:34UnknownMemoryCorrectable ECC - Asserted
I would assume then that an actual ECC error would be reported the same way.
Just an FYI for anyone going with these boards - you guys want the Kingston 8GB ECC KVR16E11/8 model, not the 8GB ECC KVR16E11/8l. Some people have posted saying they can't POST on the 226 Asrock with the /8l model.
8GB ECC KVR16E11/8l ......................... as in 8L? I thought we were talking about 8I that was working on ASROCK.
Mini-ITX build hardware in sig.... humming along nicely.
Will be adding 2 more TB drives in the future and possibly swap out the G3220 for a Xeon.
How do you plan on migrating your data from the pool to the new array when you add the 2 extra drives?
Pretty much manually. Copy everything to an external drive(s), create new 6 disk RAIDZ2 pool, copy everything back.
