[PVE-User] SAN recommendation.

[Bill Harris]

Hmm,

 

I’ve been using FreeNAS for the last 9 months as a store for several Vmware Hosts..

Has performed great, and ZFS is solid.

Nexenta CE may only be used for testing, not allowed for production.

If you go for a cheap but reliable SAN, look after Promise VessRAID machines.

If you don’t want to spend any money, have a look at freenas which is pretty nice, full featured and uses ZFS in the back.

 

Almost a year ago I have similar doubts and ( bad ) adventures trying to use Freenas and nas4free, and it only gave me lots of head aches !!!

My advice is forget about it, with ZFS is just not stable ( my record was 5 days before weird and inexplicable freezes ! ) .

With native BSD file system works OK, but the performance are realy poor .

People in this list pointed me to a stable solution :

This :

plus this :

6 mounths up and running smoothly and rock solid !!!



I am using nfs with dedicated switcher, the performance are excelent ...
