Hello all.
:)
Having already had major issues with Linux-based NAS boxes and stupid fsck forcing full system scans after a dirty shutdown(taking many hours), I need to ask a quick questions of FreeNAS, as I note that it is NOT Linux:
Do either UFS or ZFS force linux-type fsck filesystem checks on the server in the event of a dirty shutdown?
I am toying with the idea of using FreeNAS for my next server, which will be a media server, and what I DON'T want, under ANY circumstances, is hours and hours of forced filesystem checks in the event that there is a dirty shutdown or some other issue that FreeNAS thinks warrants a full filesystem check.
Hours and hours of filesystem checking, prevent you from getting back to watching your videos...
In Windoze, even if you have a drive failure, you whip that one out of service, and fire the box up with the remaining drives, and the server is back on the network again in minutes.
HOWEVER, I note that FreeNAS is Unix-based, not Linux-based, so perhaps FreeNAS does not use fsck at all?
