HI,
I'm building my 1st FreeNAS box (X10SL7-F, 32GB ECC, 8*4TB WD Red, i3-4360) and I'm still trying to figure which is best choice:
would require more power/more space (tiny flat here)/stronger UPC (they would be next to each other)
2) less space/power/UPC but more complex (and chalenging :p)
=> I've read that NFS/iscsi perfs were not that great with esxi/freenas, but also that a new iscsi kernel *thing* has been activated in FN 9.3, so is perf still an issue ?
=> not related to FN, but would graphic card passthrough to my linux box be OK too ? A must have due to VDPAU (nvidia) hardware acceleration
=> any reason to do/not to do this ?
Thanks !
Edit: jails (with virtualbox ?) would be an option too, if you can do graphic passthrough
I'm building my 1st FreeNAS box (X10SL7-F, 32GB ECC, 8*4TB WD Red, i3-4360) and I'm still trying to figure which is best choice:
- FreeNAS baremetal and another desktop PC for day-to-day use (both windows and linux)
- FreeNAS in ESXi, being able to virtualize my desktop (and other VM is needed)
would require more power/more space (tiny flat here)/stronger UPC (they would be next to each other)
