Hey all,
I have been considering getting some EOL qfsp+ gear as my current 1gbe solution annoys me when copying large files around my home network. In the course of my investigations I was wondering whether anyone regularly games over nfs/rdma in a satisfactory way?
As is customary for me, my idea is suffering a bit of scope creep and I found myself investigating some pcie cards with nvme slots and 2Tb drives in the effort of coming up with a solution that might be able to utilize most of a 40gb link. In that train of thought I got to wondering whether I might be able to avoid copying the large files altogether by moving steam libraries onto remote rdma drives.
My home server that would accomodate the gear is a Supermicro X10DRH-iT with two Xeon 2650L-V3's. It's currently running Ubuntu but recent releases have been doing things that I don't consider improvements so I will probably go back to debian soon. It currently has 32GB RAM, more soon, as I'm also considering getting a second internet connection and loadbalancing them with a pfsense VM. Current work at home with lots of videoconfencing for both me and my better half is interfering with downloads a little too often to be acceptable.
If someone is gaming from a remote rdma drive, I'd love to hear about their experiences.
