Hi all,
I'm re-purposing a reliable i386 server with 7 15K SCSI drives as an iSCSI target under FreeNAS. While I would prefer to go amd64, that's just not possible with this server.
Given that, would a ZFS RAID10 serving iSCSI be safe with the 4GB memory limit under i386? I've run an older FreeNAS version under i386 on a considerably more complicated system with no kernel panics.
The alternative is to use hardware RAID10 and expose the single drive as a device extent over iSCSI. That would serve the purpose, but I'd lose all the nifty goodness of ZFS.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
