Comment on Home NAS with BTRFS by Scot

Russ,

I am about to switch out my Solaris-ZFS-samba server for a Suse-btrfs for the same reasons. I also am going to miss ZFS send/receive and software raid.

Just a reminder, a single threaded process will max out on your performance graph at 25% of your dual core system when it consumes one of your 4 logical CPUs. You probably are CPU bound on that local copy. For the local copy I’ll bet that ypur %sys is mostly interrupts. Especially if it was with the write cache disabled.

For the ssh/rsync, I’ll bet the SSL encryption chews up the atom pretty good

For your offsite rsync, have you researched home VPN options yet?

I think you should trust the diagram. The wires in the pictures might not be connected to anything.

I’m not sure, on your pictures every 16 wires are used from the lcd

on the diagram only 10 are used?!

Hmmm… not sure about that. Maybe you could hook something up with a solid state relay? If you figure it out let me know.

Hi, Ricky, Yes, the motherboard is a mini-ITX board, the Gigabyte GA-D525TUD. It lives in my basement so the sound doesn't bother me. When I'm down there I hardly notice it. Might not be suitable for a home theatre but as a general purpose server it's excellent.
