I post this assuming all hardware requirements are met running FreeNAS 9.3.
I have read that the iSCSI pool should be kept under 50% for adequate performance. In theory, if I had 50TB of usable space and then created two separate pools on a system (1 for iSCSI with 25TB and the other for SMB with the other 25TB) would that allow the iSCSI user to utilize all 25TB of storage and maintain performance and have the other 25TB SMB share for other data or as an archive location.
The context is that some editing programs don't work well with SMB or network shares in general. So current projects would be over iSCSI with the SMB dataset used for archive.
Thank you. If more information is needed, please let me know.
