So what would be the recommended setup with ZFS and 6 drives? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I have to set up a server w/ 8x 1TB in about 2 weeks and consider ZFS as |
| 18 |
well, at least for data. So root-fs would go onto 2x 1TB hdds with |
| 19 |
conventional partitioning and something like ext4. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
6x 1TB would be available for data ... on one hand for a file-server |
| 22 |
part ... on the other hand for VMs based on KVM. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The server has 64 gigs of RAM so that won't be a problem here. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I still wonder if the virtual disks for the VMs will run fine on ZFS ... |
| 27 |
no way to test it until I am there and set the box up. |
