I encountered this problem in my lab – I have the following configuration physically installed on an HP Microserver for testing (I will probably put it into a VM later on however)ġ x 8Gb USB flash drive holding the boot OSĪnd the following configured into a single volume, accessed over NFSv3 (see this post for how to do that)Ĥ x 160Gb 7.2k RPM SATA disks for a raid volume in a raidz1 configurationĪ quick benchmark using IOmeter showed that it was being outperformed on all I/O types by my Iomega IX4-200d, which is odd, as my Nexentastor config should be using an SSD as cache for the volume making it faster than the IX4 So I decided to investigate.
