[@woswasdenni1914]

@@happinessiskey2858 he does not own it. the company is technically its own entity. he is just speaking on their behalf as a CEO and gets a sallary for that. Now he might also be shareholder, but a sharholder also doesnt own anything within the company itself but company shares. so the shareholder would need to commadn his CEO to liquidate assets and pay them out to the shareholders. the CEO has to check if that is compliant with the law (for example that the company isnt so hurt that it cant pay their unpaid invoices) and make shure everything goes by the tax books. then he can transfer assets or money to a shareholder. so even you own a company and might even its own ceo doesnt mean you simply can take whatever the company owns. you could go even to prison to take stuff from your own company depending on the exact circumstances. and lets not even think of if even a second mini shareholder in on board too.

Couple unraid deets for Jake and Linus to improve performance for say... 30 bucks. Or 0. 1) That Asus Ethernet card - can you enable offload of ethernet processing? 2) Try switching (hah) to an SFP based interface. Your SMB performance should improve a bit from the above. 3) Unraid 6.10 should handle 10gbe better when they optimize the networking stack.

I haven’t ever understood Linus’ preference for Unraid over TrueNAS (FreeNAS).

[@shineymcshine]

I believe he's friend with one of the head Unraid guys

[@LMojzis]

Yeah that and the fact he has Anthony at his disposal. Still decides to use the wrong product for the wrong use case, and the worst part is that people WILL end up paying for Unraid only to find out there’s better supported enterprise class solution available for free. I have MASSIVE ethical issue with that. A disclaimer would be nice. But then, what would they say? “We decided to go with the paid solution because it’s less supported, had less features, but looks more unfinished, but the fact that it’s unprofessional is worth every hassle” wouldn’t probably sound reasonable. For me it’s either FreeNAS/TrueNAS, else some DELL/IBM SAN. But I’d still prefer the iXsystems solution over a NAS which is more popular for it’s VM hypervisor functionality that being a NAS. 🤷‍♀️

[@demoguy84]

unRAID is nicer as you don't have to have identical drives to have easy setup

[@hellelujahh]

@@LMojzis Thanks for pointing all of this out, I just learned something 🙂

[@tttekev]

For the use case, Unraids VM support is much much better than TrueNAS. The only thing is that using native ZFS is a little difficult at this point. Since you can add ZFS support to Unraid and not add better VM support, I can see why he did this. Passing through GPUs to Plex is also much easier.

[@damacc8365]

For everyone setting up ZFS for their first time: when using raidz mode you only get the IOPS of a single drive. For more performance it's better to go for striped mirrors (equivalent to RAID 1+0).

[@LMojzis]

THIS

[@LMojzis]

Also the recovery is WAY easier. This way if one drive dies of old age, you need to read all the data from ALL the drives, risking another catastrophic drive failure, which in RaidZ1 is baibai all data.

[@ReturnJJ]

Or striped RAIDz(1/2/3) if you want the most capacity while still being able to choose how many stripes you want as a multiplier of the performance (3xRAIDz2 means 3 sets of 2 drives for parity, and 3xIOPS). I think Linus ultimately chose RAIDz because his 10GbE networking is the biggest limiting factor, so he wouldn’t be needing much more speed out of the drives either way, at least for movie storage and sequential transfers.

[@ReturnJJ]

It is worth noting that with striped mirrors and a large pool of drives (any double digit number total of drives), for multi drive failures you need to pray that none of the failed drives come from the same mirror, or you’d toast the whole pool.

And as best i can find, those drives are $1,700 EACH....and he has 12 of them, so $20k just in storage. Add to that a $2k Epyc processor, $1,600 in RAM, and that doesn't account for that chassis as I can find a price for that....just "request a quote" button for that. So I could see this maybe touching $30k for the entire build.
