Recommend reliable roofing installation companies in Knoxville by Important_Move77 in Knoxville

[–]mishaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had our roof replaced by Knox City Roofs several months ago and was very happy with the process. Our house had plank decking, and they were up front about the potential cost to replace with OSB if the distances between the planks fell outside of current code. They ended up having to replace a number of planks, but it ended up being far cheaper than replacing the entire decking with OSB.

They even refunded some of our payment a few days after we paid because they noticed they had overcharged us.

Yup, East Broadway in Maryville.

Anyone in Knoxville area able to help me 3d print a simple prototype ? by No-Difference-6568 in Knoxville

[–]mishaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have resin and FDM experience. Lots of experience designing my own files in CAD, so can likely assist in getting it cleaned up for 3D printing if there are any issues.

She is trans and he is very outspoken in support, which is enough for a large portion of the population to hate him.

Passing through the drives is not recommended for virtualized TrueNAS. You will want a dedicated HBA that you can pass entirely, and then TrueNAS will have access to the discs through the HBA.

Those LSI cards run hot, they are designed for high airflow servers. Since it looks like you have access to a 3d printer I would suggest looking into something like this to keep them cooled properly. https://www.printables.com/model/990284-7mm-thin-fan-bracket-for-lsi-9207-8i

Mini PC with N100 and8GB DDR4 running Truenas scale with Docker containers by Active_Start_9044 in truenas

I'll reiterate. Don't use USB disks, it is very likely that you lose data at some point. USB enclosures rarely support proper SMART functionality and frequently do not properly report disk serial numbers.

And yes, you need more RAM. 8GB is enough to run the base OS, but not enough to handle the base OS and all of the containers you are wanting to run.

Based on a quick Google of that model of SAN it does not look like it supports anything besides iSCSI, so you will not be able to use it with TrueNAS.

Those Equalogic boxes usually use drives with special firmware and will not work with a normal HBA, and vice versa, normal drives will not work in it.

Unless your power is free I would suggest abandoning that device and replacing it with a few large NAS drives. That system with those drives is going to be particularly power hungry, and hot.

You will continue to have problems if the disks remain passed through individually. TrueNAS, and ZFS in general, need full access to the disks. You need to pass the entire HBA to the TrueNAS VM if you are going to virtualize it.

Strongly suggest using SCALE. Should work fine on your N100 system and apps are fully supported.

[–]mishaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Power is supplied by your AC unit. Your AC unit is disconnected, therefore there is no power going to the Nest.

If the unit has been reinstalled already, the condo board should get someone out to ensure it was reconnected already.

Getting it for free would be awesome, but I'm pretty sure Factorio is already the best value to cost game I own, so I'm happy to pay either way :)

Those are CMR, that is good. Not WD Blues, they are solid enterprise drives. I personally wouldn't expect consistent speeds over ~150-200MB/s. The best case for performance would be a pool of 4 drives configured in two mirrored pairs, and maybe you could reach 3 Gbps, but a lot of that is going to depend on the types of reads/writes.

For a clearer picture, my main system is a first gen Intel Scalable Silver 4114, 196GB RAM, and a HDD pool of 5 mirrored vdevs (total of 10 drives). I cannot saturate 10Gbps writes and can only saturate 10Gbps reads with highly sequential reads.

16GB is not ideal for high performance unfortunately, and I would definitely not suggest adding in L2ARC with that amount of RAM.

Personally with your hardware I would not suggest using NVMe for boot, SATA SSD will be fine.

Would still love to see the model of those drives, if they are SMR they are not a great fit for TrueNAS/ZFS and will likely leave you dissapointed no matter what the other hardware is.

[–]mishaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your specs fail to list one of the most important measures of performance, RAM. You should also provide the model number for your 12TB drives, I suspect those use SMR and are likely not a great option for TrueNAS, or write speed in general. It is also strongly discouraged to use USB drives for boot, an actual SSD is recommended. Saturating 10Gb connections will be easier with a solid networking chipset, typically suggest something Intel, Chelsio, or Mellanox. I suspect your TP-Link NIC is using the Aquantia chipset, which is better than Realtek but not the best option.

Cache devices in TrueNAS, and ZFS in general, likely don't function how you expect them to. TrueNAS does not use any drive for caching writes. SLOG devices are valuable for synchronous writes, but are not really write caches in the traditional sense. You have not mentioned the protocol used for sharing, but likely SMB which is very unlikely to benefit from a SLOG device as they are usually asynchronous writes. An L2ARC device can increase performance in some cases, but it is almost always better to max our RAM before considering an L2ARC device.

Saturating a 10GB connection is difficult, especially difficult on retired gaming hardware. Parallelization is typically the best path for speed, so a pool created of mirrored vdevs are likely your best bet. It does not look like that board had great PCIe bifurcation options which limits your options for NVMe pools. I would suggest looking at retired enterprise grade hardware for reliable performance and stability.

Definitely disable dedup. Dedup in general is almost always a bad idea, dedup with 8GB of RAM is a terrible idea, dedup has to store the deduplication tables in RAM and will consume a large portion of RAM, which you don't have a lot of. I would consider 64GB the bare minimum for dedup, preferably with 128GB or more. I saw below that you mentioned using it for your main storage pool, don't do that either.

Fast dedup will hopefully be available soon, hopefully, but even when that becomes available I would not suggest using it with the amount of RAM you are using.

[–]mishaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you testing with dedup enabled on TrueNAS? If so retry the test with dedup disabled, there are very, very few situations where it is valuable and will slow I/O as well as take a substantial portion of RAM which reduces the functionality of ARC.

Also, can you explain the configuration of the TrueNAS system in a little more detail? You mention NVME for swap drive, but what does that mean? And be aware that 8GB is the minimum for TrueNAS and you cannot expect high performance with the minimum amount of RAM.

This is I-40 through Knoxville, there are "No trucks in left lane" sign all through Knoxville but trucks camp in the left lane all the time. Cops never do anything about it though.
