    TrueNAS Beta 2 is working great!

    I installed Beta 2 on one of my servers, it has dual E5-2620 v3 CPUs, and 128GiB of RAM. I have 8x 4TB rust disks in a pool, and two 2TB SSDs in a pool. I have identical speeds and performance as I did with ZOL on Debian Buster. My previous experience with TrueNAS Beta 1 was not so hot, I...

    Why mount zfs dataset?

    The Oracle Docs illustrate mounting a zfs dataset under /export/dataset.... I might be missing something, but, why mount it? If you're doing an NFS export, why not just export /pool/dataset?

    Check efficiency of lz4 compression in ZFS

    Hi, is it possible to see the real space usage of a file in ZFS when e.g. lz4 compression is enabled? When I do a ls -l of a folder it looks like it shows the non-compressed size (or compression is completely ineffective for those files) though. Anyone already hampered with that kind of stuff...

    Hi, I just upgraded my server rack with a few more drives, now as 12TB per disk is a lot of space I wanted to check them thoroughly for errors before actually using them. On windows I know of several tools to do that but have no experience/idea for Solaris/OmniOS. What do you usually do for...
