Long time lurker, first time poster, yadda yadda. I'll do my best to get all the pertinent data in here, sorry in advance for the length. I've built a test rig to evaluate using ZFS as a backup and archival storage target for those items which do not make sense to store in one of our various...

I have an Areca 1280ML with 16 attached drives (4tb's right now). Its operating in RAID6 mode, with NTFS on top of them, but unfortunately the drives are starting to age and its time for me to swap them out for 8s. This would be the ideal time to change controllers and or filesystems. To...

We are considering a ZFS Storage Server for our VMware VSphere 6.7 Environment. Dell's SAN solutions do not appear to be price competitive. I'm open to other enterprise supported solutions. ZFS provides minimal vender lock-in and gives us a lower cost to expand by adding 24 drive or 60 drive...

Hello Guys, I got some strange problems with a new ZFS-Setup and SMB-Share: when copying files from a client machine to the server, I see around 400 - 500 MB/s transfer speeds. If I copy the same file from the server to the client, I only reach 150 MB/s. That seems way too low... On the...

Hi all, I'm considering setting up a Proxmox server, but I'm lost in the sea of possibilities ;) Maybe someone here has set up a similar system and could offer some advice... What I'm looking to build is primarily a file server, with some containers or VMs (internal webservers, databases with...

I am having problems with zfs cron jobs. I want a daily snapshot but nothing happens. At first I had a shell script that cron would call, but that is not working and I am not getting output from the command. I tried placing the command natively in cron without success, and I copied someone...

I'm currently using OmniOS 15022 (old) with Napp-it pro but would really like a storage system with SMB3 multichannel support. I really like how simply OmniOS/Napp-it integrate with my domain and allow the use of compmgmt.msc to control permissions and would like to continue using this. I'm...

Hi, I recently upgraded my zpool2 from (6 x) 2TB drives to HGST 4TB SAS HUS726040ALS214, unfortunately, a couple of the drives I ordered was showing issues, and the seller ran out of them before I could get replacements (he refunded me for the drives). Therefore I ordered a couple of HGST...

Hello STH forum, I have a question about running Windows on Proxmox because this is giving me a bad time so far. I'm asking here at STH first because it seems to me there is more technical knowledge on STH than on the Proxmox forums. Some relevant specs of the box I'm running this on: Intel...

Hello, I have a pool on a general file server with 6 x 2TB drives configured in a three-group mirror that are very old. The system, for all intensive purposes, appears to be working normally. The pool does not report as degraded. However, I have been trying to move certain files using rsync...

Sequential read speeds on my ZFS pool (4 vdevs, each a 2 x 6TB mirror) are not where I'd like them to be, at 80 - 130MB/S when moving large files around. My two main use cases for the pool are hosting VMs and moving large video files around. The VMs are performing fine but I'd like faster video...
