We want to build an NVMe-based MySQL server. That one will most likely end up running ZFS on FreeBSD. However, we prefer hardware parts that can be reused for a FreeNAS build, so I take the liberty of asking in here.
The hope is to get hot-swap NVMe. Is that feature actually supported in FreeNAS?
I see that SuperMicro has a number of NVMe hot-swap capable servers. Apparently they all include 8+ additional drives with a SAS3 backplane and I believe that SAS3 is a poor fit for FreeNAS.
So, do we even have any good options for such a build?
