CentOS and Ubuntu are fine choices too. FreeBSD is excellent, but less well known. You make it sound as though the wise choice here would be to install OpenSuse etc direct to the hardware.

      @Ghani said in Extend ZFS zpool Volume Size Without Any Data Loss: @scottalanmiller yes rsync not a backup solutions So in a "read back" mode, this tells us that the data stored here isn't important so there isn't really anything to worry about. If you do the expansion and it causes data loss, they can't be upset as they don't see value in the data. This also tells us that the servers shouldn't be there, because if they aren't backed up and they aren't a caching system then you shouldn't have them at all. So there is clearly something wrong.

      @Reid-Cooper said in Open source Firewall: pfSense was really good in the past. But I agree, the days of building your own firewall on an old PC that you have are over. Right - the cost just isn't worth running your old PC. Power alone will cost more than the cost of an ER-X or ER-L.

      @tjatwood109 said in ZFS is Perfectly Safe on Hardware RAID: @scottalanmiller Thanks - I will proceed without using ZFS - I prefer hardware RAID. Tim ZFS is perfectly fine with hardware RAID, if you like ZFS' features otherwise (like zsend is nice) then there's no reason to avoid it. If you don't plan to use any unique features, then XFS is my "go to" choice by default. Very fast, very stable.

      It was amazing that Scott found it so fast. I was on the Windows side of things. Inside Windows they were using the iSCSI initiator to connect to the FreeNAS. All the sudden Windows would just log a ton of iSCSI events and go down. I looked up the events and most people resolved them by putting the iSCSI traffic on a separate NIC. This happened two days in a row at about the same time each day. I was looking at snapshot, backup, etc times when Scott found it in the FreeNAS logs.

      SysAdm Remote Management SysAdm provides a new way to manage your Server, Desktop or Cloud-based systems. By exposing an API via encrypted REST or WebSockets, it is now possible to remotely control all aspects of your machine, including management of software, updates, boot environments, users, backups, and more. SysAdm is the answer for companies looking for a low cost, yet scalable solution that easily manages different segments of IT infrastructure to keep things running smoothly. TrueOS has now embedded all local and remote control panel functionality into SysAdm so you can easily find and adjust any configurable system element from one place.

      @BBigford said in Installing FreeNAS 9.3 on Scale HC3: When you say "in a business capacity"... Do you mean any business or just certain sizes? What is the reasoning? I know you think the FreeNAS community can be very brash/vile at times based on some of your earlier posts to people asking about FN. http://www.smbitjournal.com/2015/07/the-jurassic-park-effect/ Basically you are getting a highly stateful system where support is critical but in a crippled manner compared to just using FreeBSD. You are getting something easy to set up but difficult to support. If anything goes wrong you are in very tough shape. And updates come a bit behind. So you have a number of small issues that all add up to a not very business friendly product.

      Updated our slave database servers to 10.3 a couple of weeks ago... we roll out phases since we've got so many damn servers. It's always a nightmare. If no issues for the next couple of weeks or additional patches, we'll roll out to primary database servers (they're all sets of master-master, the slaves are for search primarily, but also are useful for a live test if everything passes staging, and they're a hot backup too if any issues arise) and then web servers. We never go down so it's a painfully slow process.
