Hi!
I've built a Truenas Scale system, with 4 HDD's and have 2 cheap 128GB SSD's that I plan to use for SLOG vdev to be able to use SYNC on and speed up writes.
I wonder if it's possible to "partition" the SSD's to use them also as Metadata vdev to make use of the space left, as I have a 10Gbit network, more than 5GB of space wouldn't be used.
My use case for the system is for both backup and archival of files, so metadata would be good to index files and make searches faster. But also to ingest video and photo files and to edit from there, that's why I have the SLOG idea in the first place, to speed up those writes in a "safer" way, using sync=on.
I just don't want to spend more on more drives, nor I have the space left to put more SSDs/nvme to have both SLOG and Metadata Vdevs.
So do I have to choose, of can I have them both with the same set of SSD's?
System specs:
Intel i7 920
24GB DDR3 RAM
10Gbit Asus Nic
4x 14TB HDDs (3x WD, 1xSeagate) (RAIDZ1)
2x 128GB Intenso's SSD
Thanks!
