TRUENAS SCALE
Trying to upgrade/replace my Haswell Xeon CORE system has become a huge headache
Ryzen looked like a great proposition. I have a few chips laying around
Went full in, my goal wasn't to cheap out
AsRock Rack X470D4U, 16GBx2 Samsung ECC strait off the QVL
Starting with a Ryzen 2700, system would hang randomly. Especially when dealing with Docker 'Apps' or VM's
Then I start searching, nightmare threads of LOTS of people having issues with Linux/BSD. Lots of 'partial' fixes by turning off C-States, turning off Global C-state control entirely, Changing PSU Idle power settings. And in more these threads it seems people 'gained' stability, but didn't fully resolve their issues
Wish I would have seen these going in
Looked like most issues were attributed to Ryzen 1XXX/2XXX....
Ok, pop a 3700X in the system, popped in the latest bios (Which was previously not installed due to Ryzen 2XXX incompatibility)
The system will randomly hang, especially with Linux VM's. Only difference is the system automatically reboots. On the Ryzen 2700 the system would hang and have to be manually power cycled.
The more I look the more I see people claiming they can't fully resolve lockups
Is Ryzen just not ready for a non-windows system management yet?
