Oh hai
I'm planning my new storage and would like some input of more experienced users.
I have the following hardware:
Every NIC serves a special purpose (VM-Hosts, VM-Backup, Backup to Synology, Other Accesses) since I didn't get LAGG to work properly.
It's mainly used as a Storage for my VMs.
The DS1511+ is hosting various content (media, documents, backup for weekly vm snapshots).
I bought the Ironwolfs and now want to setup a new system as my main storage.
The Synology DS1511+ goes to my parents or my brother as external backup storage for the most important stuff like photos, documents and weekly VM backups.
Requirements:
1. Install Proxmox on the Supermicro-Board, run FreeNAS 10 with HBA Passthroughed, RAIDZ2 over the 8x8TB Disks
2. Install FreeNAS 10 on the Supermicro-Board, RAIDZ2 over the 8x8TB Disks
2.1. Maybe: Buy two additional 500GB SSDs and use them as a mirrored VM-Storage.Disable Sync.
2.2. Maybe: Get some SSDs for a SLOG.
3. Wait for Xpenology 6.1, since i'm somewhat more familiar with it.
4. Install Ubuntu Server 16.04 instead of FreeNAS 10.
Questions:
Thanks in advance and best regards
I'm planning my new storage and would like some input of more experienced users.
I have the following hardware:
- Supermicro A1SRM-2758F with 32GB ECC RAM, 4 NICs, a Samsung 850 as systemdisk
- A bunch of HBAs: HPE P212, HPE H240, RocketRAID 2720SGL
- 4x8TB WD Red, 4x8 TB Seagate Ironwolf
- Synology DS1511+ with 5x3TB WD Green, running perfectly since about 5 years in a RAID5
- 2 Intel NUC with Proxmox (Clustered) with about 10 VMs (~100GB Used Storage, ~800GB Provisioned)

Requirements:
- Shares have to be encrypted
- SMB and NFS with ~70MB/sec R/W is sufficient
- I want to have automated daily snapshots to mitigate ransomware
- I don't need any fancy features like jails, docker, dedup, apps, whatever

Questions:
- Does anyone use a virtual FreeNAS? What are you're experiences with it in terms of speed and reliability? Is this article still valid? http://www.freenas.org/blog/yes-you-can-virtualize-freenas/
- This mainboard has an Atom C2758, I'm expecting a replacement within the next 12 months, which will be the easiest setup to change the mainboard without having to reconfigure anything?
- Is FreeNAS 10 going to be stable enough in ~2 weeks or should i wait a few months?
- Where am i creating technical debt which can only be solved by buying ~60TB of disks and then copying everything?
Thanks in advance and best regards
