Hello, I am new to zfs. After reading some posts here, I got some knowledge about zfs.
My old build:
4TB red*2 (ext4) hosted at OMV on a esxi 5.5
these hard disks were passed thru to esxi directly
My new build: (Going to build in this week)
Brand new 4TB red*2 + g4400 + 32gb ecc ram + c236 MB
1) install FreeNas 9.10 to the usb drive and boot directly from the physical machine
2) start to build a Virtual Device with 2 brand new 4TB
3) Rsync the old data from the OMV to Freenas
4) Use the old 4TB*2 from OMV and build another Virtual device for mirror
Here are some questions:
1) For the log device, should i use USB thumb drive or SSD?
2) For the zfs performance, should I use the native c236 sata port or use hba 9211 8i?
Thank you
