SAS has more advantages over Sata like - SAS max performance 2 x 12G vs 1 x 6G - SAS can read/write concurrently - SAS max cable length 10m vs 1m

The Solaris/OmniOS SMB server is based on nfsv4 ACL. You can set nfsv4 ACL locally via chmod but not remotely from a Linux client as Linux only supports the much simpler (and incompatible) Posix ACL model. Modifying nfsv4 ACL via chmod is not as easy, using Windows that is build to modify ntfs...

I would use SMB only, also for Linux/OSX/Unix clients and set ACL remote from Windows. For Linux an additional item is the incompatibility of the Posix ACL model of Linux to the ntfs/nfs4 ACL model in Windows or Solaris

NFS access restrictions are not so easy. With NFS3 there is no authentication or authorisation beside some host/ip based basic ones. Depending on server or client, a file is written under the uid of a user or as nobody. NFS4 offers authentication or authorisation but is not as easy to implement...

For a "one for all server/NAS" a uATX AMD/Intel system with a current medium class CPU (4 core or more) with 32-64GB RAM is ok. ECC RAM is a plus but only AMD entry level systems support this on some mainboards. AMD cpus with graphic only support ECC in the Pro editions. You should look for a...

With a DAS concept (local arrays for local apps), you only need enough disk bays. Depending on data you can asume 100-150 MB/s per hd, 500 MB/s per SSD and 1000+ MB/s per NVMe. In a raid array ex Raid-6 or ZFS Z2 data is striped over disks but not linear, more a factor like 1,5 ex a raid Z2 of...

Info: After an update to Solaris 11.4 cbe > sru81 (pkg update, current CBE sru 81 supports ZFS v53) add the following links (Putty as root, copy/paste with a mouse right click, or minihttpd cannot start) ln -s /lib/libssl.so /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so...

OpenZFS on Windows 2.3.1 rc9 is available OpenZVOL unload BSOD fix Implement kernel vsnprintf instead of CRT version Change zed service from zed.inf to cmd service Change CMake to handle x64 and arm64 builds Produce ARM64 Windows installer. rc8 Finish Partition work at 128 Also read Backup...

Windows NAS considerations I have collected some considerations for a Windows NAS, now as OpenZFS on Windows is near to a release state and Windows Storage Spaces is an often underestimated method to pool disks of different size or speed...

OpenZFS 2.3 on OSX s now a release edition, no longer a release candidate https://github.com/openzfsonosx/openzfs-fork/releases/tag/zfs-macOS-2.3.0

Posix ACL on a Proxmox NAS https://napp-it.org/doc/downloads/proxmox.pdf While not as feature rich as ntfs/nfs4 ACL, they are good enough tocontrol access fur multiple users. I started to integrate Posix management into a new napp-it menu Filesystems > ACL management A first preview in newest...

Write an issue report how to reproduce. In the past few weeks, most issues were already solved. https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/openzfs/issues btw First seconds of copy goes to ramcache tried 5.4 GB iso, copied in 12s =450 MB/s drive c: -> pool on .vhdx on same disk no freeze at the end...

I would - test the two nvme individually (in case one is bad) - compare with a virtual disk under ESXi control (rule out passthrough problem) - optionally: compare with a barebone OmniOS

As I understand it Some apps ask for filesystem type. If not fat*, ntfs or Refs they refuse to work ex start the application from a ZFS pool. As long as Microsoft (or OSX) does not add ZFS (or btrfs) to the list of valid filesystems there is a need of an overrun option. There is an additional...

OpenZFS for Windows 2.3 becomes better and better rc8 Finish Partition work at 128 Also read Backup label in case Windows has destroyed Primary OpenZVOL should depend on Storport or it can load too soon Change FSType to NTFS as default
