I also tried mirror/stripe, or RAID10, they all seem to have the similar performance, so I wonder the bottleneck might not be...

    Reporting in new vs old GUI

    Hi, I recently installed my FreeNAS Environment. Works mostly as expected! However the reporting in the new UI seems a bit strange or "buggy". Because I didn't find any bug reports or forum posts, I took some screenshots. See them attached. First, CPU idle is sometimes at 1000%, when there is...

    WD Gold vs Seagate Exos

    A lot of folk round these parts seem to be big fans of WD Gold SATA but I notice that Seagate Exos SAS are about £40 cheaper per unit on the 8TBs and the specifications seem to be very very similar. Is there much in the difference between the two? Does the fact of the disk being SAS make much...

    USB disk too much

    Running 11.2beta3, I had an USB disk (FreeNAS reports its 115.69 GiB) that I recently removed. It was a non-production, simple backup disk for friends.

    bhyve virtio boot disk in Windows?

    I have managed to get Windows 10 stable in bhyve by using an AHCI boot disk and virtio NIC (instead of the e1000 NIC which causes instability under load). However, the disk performance using AHCI mode is abysmal. Because Windows 10 does a lot of stuff behind your back, and it's hard to disable...

    Why is resilvering a simple mirror unexpectedly slow?

    I've used zpool attach to add a mirror to a single drive vdev, as part of setting up my new server (I had to do it that way as I'm migrating both disks and data; there's a backup of the data on the old server). What surprises me is that after attaching, its resilvering speed was consistently...
