Hi guys,
I am thinking of adding an Intel P4800X (375GB) as a SLOG for my FreeNAS fileserver. I am looking for recommended configurations and settings for obtaining the best results from such a setup. Things like overprovisioning, block size, etc.
All access is done via NFS mounts, hence the desire to speed up the sync-writes. Currently 50+ servers access it concurrently.
My other system specifications are:
Chassis: Supermicro CSE-846BE16-R920B
Motherboard: Supermicro X9DRD-7LN4F
CPUs: 2 x Xeon E5-2603v2
RAM: 12 x 16GB ECC DDR3-1866
SLOG: 2 x Intel S3500, to be replaced by Intel P4800X.
Interface: Currently 1x10GbE, but expandable to 4x10GbE should I be able to take advantage of it.
