Just have a couple of questions if anyone can help:
Configuration:
Supermicro X8SIL-F
32gig RDIMM ECC
LSI 9240-8i
8x6TB Seagate Drives
1. The LSI shows JBOD as the initial configuration, I have read where people are flashing there 9211/92XX with the IT flash rom to move it to HBA.
Should I really flash the raid bios, FreeNas shows all the drives/size correctly, albeit named them based off the raid card.
2. After reading the Cyber's power-point, I'm a little confused as to the current setup Freenas choose, now while I have always been a fan of RAID 10, I'm open to trying something different.
FreeNas made 2 4x6TB RaidZ2 yielding 24TB for space, and 24TB for Parity:
4x6TB = 24TB broken down to 12TB for storage and 12TB for Parity: Set 1
4x6TB = 24TB broken down to 12TB for storage and 12TB for Parity: Set 2
Drive storage was pooled to 24TB
Question if the sets are independent, how is it that Freenas pooled the Storage to 24TB?
Thanks for any help.
