    NetApp Quad Port QSFP HBA X2065A-R6 111-00341 PCIe Card

    looks like it is an ext4 bug if I write to an ext4 file system that is multi-pathed it crashes PC writing to btrfs is fine so I might need to change my file systems

    any performance difference between 16 / 24 port expanders ?

    anyhow thanks for your input I might just get a quad 3gbs card for now and get a faster one's later on when mainboard is upgraded as the main reason I don't use the ZFS much is that the scrubs took days also, I am pretty sure my other PCI-e slot is killing hardware 9 so a cheap $30 part will...
