    EU [SOLD][NL] Z11PA-U12/10G-2G / XEON Silver / Gold / 12x16GB / 5x4TB DC-P4510 / 5x4TB SATA SSD

    Here we go ... so for the mobo, cpu's, ram and cooler I prefer a single sale. Hence the discount. I don't want to get stuck with a few modules or cpu's that won't sell. For all items: 100% working! Stuff ran for years 24/7 with no issues whatsoever. Mobo and Xeon Silver are 3,5 years old. Xeon...

    What should I ask when selling this?

    I tore down my server today, I have put up all the U.2 and SATA SSD's up for sale on a Dutch site (is it worth it putting it here as well for EU/NL)? I have the motherboard, memory and cpu left but I have no idea what I can ask for it? Its an Asus Z11PA-U12/10G-2S with Xeon Gold 6150 Processor...

    Z11PA-U12/10G-2S max base clock

    When looking at the supported processor list it doesn't seem there is much choice for > 3 Ghz with more than 12 cores. I was hoping to score something on ebay with 16 or 20 cores at 3 Ghz or higher base clock. Does anyone know if that actually works on these motherboards? I haven't tried it...

    Descriptor corrupt on every new disk

    Running a freshly installed esxi 8.0 with 1 vm on local datastore in my homelab for some testing purposes. That VM has my LSI controller passed through and is running zfs on Archlinux. I exported an NFS 4 share no_root_squash and using root credentials from ESX to mount the NFS share. It works...

    Find ZFS record sizes per dataset

    Now that my new U.2 SSD's are operational I added them as a mirror to my 4-mirror spinning rust pool as a special vdev for metadata and small blocks. For the moment I set it to 64k. Ideally, I would like to figure out the current block sizes per dataset so I can set recordsize to the best value...

    Comparison: 512e versus 4kn

    I heard quite often that it doesn't matter and even that 4kn is faster or that 512e comes with "a performance hit". However, I have yet to see any direct comparisons with tools and parameters I trust (such as fio), so I decided to run my own. I will try to keep this concise :). Obligatory...

    HUGO for Linux

    Can anyone help me with a download for HUGO for Linux (RHEL/CentOS)? I have the Windows version but that would require I install some trial of Windows first, or remove a pile of disks from my server, attach them one at a time to my Windows machine. Thanks in advance!

    Help getting M1015 / LSI SAS2008 to work on Red Hat 8

    Hey all, I am trying to get my old trusty M1015 to work in Red Hat 8. As you may not be aware, Red Hat in their infinite wisdom removed support for LSI SAS2008/2108/2116 and other controllers and they have since been included in elrepo.org. The controller is in IT mode without a BIOS. I...

    Lots of trouble with Z11PA-U12-10G-2S + 4210R

    So I built me a home server for running VM's and storage for backups. I considered going for a Dell T440 but it got too expensive quickly once you start adding things. So I dicided to build my own (something I've done plenty before). Asus Z11PA-U12-10G-2S Intel Xeon Silver 4210R 6x Kingston...
