Subject: [PVE-User] get the most of storage for a very old dell pe 2950.
Date: Mon, 19 Apr 2021 09:59:15 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALt2oz6qSFaWYTZMrkWrc9tVsXB1hvX+ugzDbfnE_L+Fn3q=Gw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi guys , I received a very old del pe 2950 box.
Fortunately it has 64 GB and a double power supply, so i'm thinking about
using it with pve.
After confirm with dell support about storage capacity:
Max physical storage support is 2TB.
Max virtual storage support is also 2TB.
##
I was reading on previous emails at this mail list , about storage:
 "putting the controller in JBOD mode
and install directly with ZFS software RAID."

I always thought that raid hardware controller was the best option but ,
perhaps I can give it a try to ZFS software RAID with this old server  ....
what do you think ?
I have a bunch of 3.5" with odd capacities  unused drives.
I readed that zfs can merge them to get a more efficient use.
What about hot replace / remove or insert a new drive ?
Will it work without service disruption in production environments ?

Regards,
Leandro.
