Hello folks.
Currently I am fighting the never ending issue of trying to get performance out of FreeNAS boxes working as datastores for ESXi 5.5 hosts (NFS).
Long story short, now with NFS 4.1 support on ESXi 6, I'd try to see if there is hope for this case.
I am aware that v10 is far from ready, and I've seen all the warnings about builds and ISOs that might not run at all.
I just would like to know if someone would know of a build where NFS 4.1 and some basic functionality are working. So far, none of my installation attempts have worked at all, no matter if I tried a fresh install, upgrade of the USB stick, GUI based upgrade (manual or otherwise).
Lack of documentation on v10 (intentional, I am sure) is not helping either.
Could someone lend me a helping hand ?
A bit of a background (which I'll explain further on another thread), in the past I used an Isilon as datastore, getting decent but limited results. Next I moved to CentOS 7 + ZFS and results were better, but my team would not feel comfortable managing Linux boxes.
My next logical move was implementing FreeNAS, which I tested for a while, but, when I moved to production, would have a very poor performance. Testing v10 with NFS 4.1 will tell me is there is a future for this current configuration, or if I'll have to resort to other solutions.
Cheers.
