Hey Guys and Gals...
A quick run through of my gear...
My current file Server is a HP ML370 G5 and a HP MDS600
The ML370 has Dual X5450 Quad Core Xenon ( 3.0GHz ) with 32GB pf PC2-5300F ECC Memory, Array Controllers are Smart Array P800 x2 ( 1 SAS link to each half of the MDS ). Each P800 has a 512MB BBWC as well
Now the P800 has its own hardware based raid and was wondering how would FreeNAS would handle a Soft RAID on top of Hard RAID.
Here's an example :
Hardware RAID:
- HDD 1, 2 - RAID 1 - 4TB - Drive 1
- HDD 3, 4 - RAID 1 - 4 TB - Drive 2
- HDD 5, 6 - RAID 1 - 4TB - Drive 3
- HDD 7, 8 - RAID 1 - 4TB - Drive 4
- HDD 9, 10 - RAID 1 - 4TB - Drive 5
TOTAL SPACE : 20TB
HDD's - Seagate Barracuda 7200 - ST2000DM001 - SATAIII ( 6GB/s )
Software RAID:
- Drive 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - RAID 5 - Virtual Drive Capacity ~16TB
Is this feasible with a ZFS file system ??
Also I haven't been around since 4.9 and with little time I have didn't skim through the manual...
Whats the status of the drivers for Infinniband ?? IPoiB or RDMA ??
