About this deal

If your TrueNAS server isn’t virtualized, I’d recommend going with iSCSI because you can configure MPIO (Multipath I/O), which allows redundancy as well as round robin load balancing across multiple connections to the iSCSI target. For example, with 2 x 10Gbe NICs, you should be able to achieve redundancy/failover, as well as 20Gbe combined speeds. If you had 4 x 10Gbe, then you could achieve 40Gbps combined.

We all love the word multipathing, don’t we? As most of you iSCSI and virtualization people know, we want multipathing on everything. It provides redundancy as well as increased throughput. How do we turn on NFS Multipathing? If you’re worried about destroying your SD Cards, need some more space, or just want to learn something new, I’m going to show you how to use an NFS root for the Raspberry Pi 4.Im curious why you posted this article and then recommended the product before testing it in a non server/non VR environment? a tech guy without access to a puter with x16 slot? If you’re running Ubuntu, your existing nobtcmd.txt should look like this: dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait

In my case I used a Synology DS1813+ as an NFS server to host my Raspberry Pi NFS root images. But you can use any Linux server to host it. I previously created a post to create a boot partition layout for a Raspberry Pi. Please follow those instructions to complete this step. Looking to add quad (4) NVMe SSDs to your system and don’t have the M.2 slots or a motherboard that supports bifurcation? The IOCREST IO-PEX40152 QUAD NVMe PCIe card, is the card for you! Keep in mind that while this should be persistent on boot, it wasn’t on my system. Please see the section below on how to make it persistent on booth. Disable thumbnail generation (thumbd)ZIL stands for ZFS Intent Log, and SLOG standards for Separated Log which is usually stored on a dedicated SLOG device. Note that the cards will wiggle side to side and have play until screw is tightened. Do not over-tighten the screw!

In this post I’ll be reviewing the IOCREST IO-PEX40152, providing information on how to buy, benchmarks, installation, configuration and more! I’ve also posted tons of pics for your viewing pleasure. I installed this card in an HPE DL360p Gen8 server to add NVME capabilities to create an NVMe based Storage Server. First, we need to write the SD Card Linux image to your SD card. You’ll need to know which device your SD card will appear to your computer. In my case it was /dev/sdb, make sure you verify the right device or you could damage your current Linux install.This also protects your SD card, as the majority of the reading and writing is performed on the physical storage of the NFS export, instead of the SD card in the Pi which has limited reads and writes. What you’ll need It would not surprise me if, in all honesty, AM6 will only come populated with something like 8 m.2 slots and a single x16 PCIe slot on many models - at least in the consumer space. But this is all conjecture and rumors at this point. If you want to just run your stuff right now, my recommendation would be a AMD Ryzen 5 5600 CPU coupled with a Gigabyte Aorus B550M Elite board. Since option 1 is probably not going to happen, 2 or 3 remain. The only difference, really, between the two is how many m.2 slots you want to add to your mATX motherboard. I have heard rumors of up to 6 m.2 slots on the motherboard in the next generation high end boards, and even the low-end will have at least 3x m.2 slots. Implementing a SLOG that is slower than the combined speed of your ZFS pool will result in a performance loss. You SLOG should be faster than the pool it’s acting as a ZIL for.

Take note of the mount point and/or NFS export path, as this is the directory your Raspberry Pi will need to mount to access it’s NFS root. This is also the directory you will be copying your SD Card Linux install root FS to. Copy the Linux install to the NFS Export Slow and Secure storage is the type of storage found in most applications used for SAN or NAS storage. SSD Endurance and Lifetime When you use an NFS Root with your Raspberry Pi, it stores the entire root filesystem on a remote NFS export (think of it as a network filesystem share). This means you’ll have as much space as the NFS export, and you’ll probably see way faster performance since it’ll be running at 1Gb/sec instead of the speed of the SD Card. The IOCREST IO-PCE585-5I is the perfect card to accomplish this task as it supports numerous different operating systems and provides JBOD access of disks to the host operating system.

On my physical desktop rig, even with two GPUs it struggles to allow me to preview in realtime the edits I’ve done on a project. The preview window is jolty with loss frames, and it’s hard to know what you’re doing. Also, when producing and encoding a finalized video project, it would take forever to complete even a small 5 minute video at 1080p.
