Hey all,
The hardware guide doesn't mention much about core count, so I figured I'd ask here.
Does FreeNAS effectively use multiple cores? Is there a real difference as core count goes up?
I plan on running FreeNAS as a guest under a VMWare ESXi server, and I am trying to figure out how many cores would be a good idea to assign to it.
Useage environment is going to be as follows:
-4 3TB hard drives in Raidz2 configured as an iSCSI target.
-Potentially a couple of mirrored small SSD's for the ZIL
-Potentially a small SSD cache drive.
Load will vary. It will see periods of intense loads from multiple clients, but then also be idle for long periods of time.
Thanks
Matt
