OK, I read the FreeNAS: A Worst Practices Guide that says hardware raid cards are usually NOT recommended. without the hardware raid card, FreeNas uses a software raid and this is preferred method ?! I am not very familiar with FreeNas and zfs, I am used to create ext4, not sure if CentOS with an ext4 partition on this hardware raid would be more or less reliable than FreeNas + zfs.Īnd I guess I am confused on how FreeNas raid works. Or in my case is it a more reliable solution to just install CentOS / Ubuntu on the hardware raid ? (I can handle the manual config of shares). Ī hardware raid level created by H700 card bios interface, creating a single large drive 8TB (raid 10) or 12TB (raid 5), and use this volume as storage medium for a FreeNas installation that can run from stick or from SSD on the 2 remaining bays. Would this next scenario work ? Should I expect any problems or need to change something ?.
