Hello all,
I have installed FreeNAS on a test server, and will migrate all my zfsguru servers (no more support/development since some years) to FreeNAS.
Since I read not to positive posts on importing existing zfsguru pools into FreeNAS I am copying data over though SMB shares (PC intermediate).
It is a bit slow as my test server has only old 1 TB drives. The other servers have 3 and 4 TB drives. All 10 GE networking in between. Once I free up the least full server I will have decent speed with 10 hdd raid-z2 volumes (scrubs do 880 MB/sec)
Finally I can move away from smb v1 which became an issue lately in windows 10 :(
The servers all have Xeon E3 processors (V1 V2 and V3) and 32 GB memory on supermicro mainboards.
I use norco 20 bay and ri-vier 24 bay cases. 2x m1015 in IT mode and 4 internal sata interfaces result in 2 pools with each 1 raid-Z2 vdev.
Servers are about 4-6 years old and store movies.
