Good Morning!
I am a new TrueNAS User and installed my FileServer just two days ago. Its not a new System, i just decided to repurpose it.
Previously it was running with a Big Raid-Controller, Two 8 Disk Raid-6 together in a Storage-Spaces Pool (striped).
It was working fine for several years, but: there were several downsides of this configuration and i decided to move forward to a ZFS based NAS.
Some System Specs:
- Supermicro X9SCA-F
- Xeon E3-1265L V2
- 4x 8GB of Kingston ECC RAM
- SemiMicro SmartHBA 2100-24i
- Brocade 1020 CNA
- 8x 10tb WD Gold
- 4x 240GB Samsung Pro SSD
- 2x Samsung 128GB Evo SSD
- 19" Supermicro Server Chassis, similar to this one: https://www.pc-pitstop.com/supermicro-4u-24-bay-server-superchassis-846be1c-r1k23b
- "Gaming Grade" Power-Supply: Enermax 800Watts
2 ssds are in a raid1 for OS (hba supports mixed mode)
I have several Disks more, and i am playing with different Configurations at the moment. Currently its one Pool:
- 8 disks in raid-z2
- 2 SSDs as L2ARC
- 2 SSDs (Mirror) as ZIL
Performance isnt bad at all. I was able to achieve 500MB/s sustained throughput to the disks copying from another Fileserver. BUT:
After 1 or 2 TB of data the entire system just froze. No error messages, no log messages: Frozen.
I was able to login via ipmi, no problems in the eventlog as well.
So i decided to run memtest and verify if the memory is still good: No errors found, ~6 hours of testing resulted in a pass.
I am now leaning towards the idea that the powersupply may be the culprit of this scenario and ordered a new one.
Any other ideas?
-> I doubt its a cooling problem. 19-20 Degree Celsius Room Temp and 5 very powerful fans in the chassis.
Also decided to setup a centralized logging system, maybe that would have shown the last messages before the freeze.
Kind regards
