system specs
10x 1tb 2.5 inch spinning disk
4x 1tb SSD
128 GB ram
2x xeon processors
supermicro board and chassis
right now I have the 10 spinning disks as 2 raidz2 put together. I have a zvol extent shared out by iscsi on this pool.
the 4 SSD I haven't setup yet and was thinking either raid10 or another raidz2. I would like to some how use all of the SSD space on a new iscsi share.
What I am wonder is if it possible\safe to share the whole pool. Every where I looked says if I go over 80% disk space I will inure a performance plenty and other bad things will happen.
I also Have a second questions, right now there is 23 VM's (ESXi 5.5) running off the spinning disk pool. the VM's are backup with vcenter and veeam backup. Is there a good way to backup the zvol extent though snapshots?
