Hello,
I am new to the FreeNAS universe.
I already have two NAS Synology CS407 (128 MB of memory and 2x 2 TB) and DS213 + (512 MB and 2x 2 TB). They are almost saturated.
I now want a more powerful NAS to run VMs, Docker, Plex, ... At Synology, a powerful NAS is too expensive.
I have now mounted FreeNAS for testing on a PC with an i7 960 but FreeBSD (bhyve) virtualization does not work with this processor. You need the VT-x support with the EPT and UG flags. He misses the flag UG.
So I will mount a NAS "home" FreeNAS with these elements at the beginning:
1x Shuttle SZ170R8 V2
1x Intel Core i7-6700K (4.0 GHz)
1x Crucial DDR4 16 GB 2400 MHz CL17 X8
1x 120GB SSD for the system
1x 1 TB disk for data.
The goal is to do tests with the Jail and VM part.
In a second step, I will add:
3x Crucial DDR4 16 GB 2400 MHz CL17 X8 to reach 64 GB
1x Samsung SSD 960 Evo M.2 NVMe 250GB for the system,
4x 8 or 10 TB disk
The Shuttle is certified Linux. This does not necessarily mean that FreeBSD will run on it but there is a good chance.
Do you think that FreeNAS or FreeBSD could have problems with the chosen hardware?
Can I install the system on the M.2 in PCI and boot on it?
I would like the opinion of the FreeNAS Jedi Masters.
Thank you.
