Hi,
I know it's not recommended, but is anyone running NAS4Free in a VM with
ZFS?
I use it to create user directories with fixed quotas and share them
over CIFs. Each user has there own dataset and the dataset is shared.
The Proxmox VM is using direct sync cache mode on the NAS3Free disk. I
do backup and snapshot daily, so data loss will be minimized if anything
bad happens. I also turned off any scrubs on the pool. I used to do
them nightly, but read somewhere it wasn't recommended in a virtual
environment.
The NAS4Free disk is on an NFS file server with its own RAID6 and DRBD
setup (Synology).
It's been really stable, and I'm considering putting some more critical
data on it.
Gerald
