I'll be running ZFS probably in mirrored or raidz arrangements. I'd like to be able to get good enough performance so that things like iSCSI are viable over my home-office lan (gigabit lan with less than 20 devices). Does anyone have any suggestions on what chipset / motherboard might have reasonable IO performance? I'd prefer not to go into this endeavour only to find out my disk access grinds to a halt when the motherboard needs to talk to the network. Things like WOL, low power usage and small form factor are also important. Hopefully I'm not asking too much of the micro ATX form factor.

For fast ZFS pool u need lot of ram and fast SSD for ZIL log. In other case RAID5 will be much faster. Configuration depends of yours needs. U need to choose if you want to store/copy lot of small files or big like a video files. If you will store big files and write it and read sequentially I recommend to create RAID5 with large stripes like 256K. Create a FS with big blocks. Also I thing its better to use partition on disks rather than using whole RAW disk space because you can set proper alignment. Check if yours disks have 4K sectors or 512B. For me that configuration is doing 40-50MB/sec with reads and ~35MB/sec writes using Samba.

Regards, rfg P.S. It is of course possible that I just simply got a bad card. I'll be plugging in into a Windows system I have here soon to try to be sure about that, one way or the other. P.P.S.

Thanks Patrick, this one does look interesting. Could you tell me what you think of the C206 chipset?

Hi, There are generic classes for USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 and the list of supported hardware would be ever growing and unfair.

"unfair"? I think that both of the objections you just raised could also be applied to various ethernet chipset drivers, and yet on the man pages for those, in general, we can see lists of the specific supported chips for each. It only seems to be the man pages for the drivers relating to USB chipsets that are breaking with this tradition by ommitting this vital information. >What does pciconf -lv output? Here it is. I personally don't know how to read this, so any help would be appreciated. (It does appear to me however that the VIA USB 1/2 controllers that are present on the motherboard _are_ being seen, but that, as I have said, the kernel is not even seeing the presence of the new USB 3.0 PCIe add-in card.) P.S. Unfortunately, I am not actually able to test the card in any Windows system at the moment. I simply do not have access to any such that have PCIe slots. hostb0@pci0:0:0:0: class=0x060000 card=0x03361106 chip=0x03361106 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies, Inc.' device = 'K8M890CE

and ZFS, networking works perfectly and stability is so far good. I like this chipset because i can use cheap i3 CPUs for my systems. The only bad thing are the 4x Sata on Board. Would be nice if there were more. The "embedded" features are kinda cool. r On 05.12.2012 03:01, Dan Carroll wrote: > On 5/12/2012 12:23 AM, Patrick Heinson wrote: >> currently we are using an Intel s1200kp >> >> http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/server-motherboards/server-board-s1200kp.html >> >> >> with 8-16GB of Ram. >> >> Performance is with 2x2TB mirror 80-85mb/sec write and 100+mb/sec read. >> >> All the thinks you ask for are supported like WOL and stuff. > > > Thanks Patrick, this one does look interesting.

I tried the card in two other systems and in both cases it was recognized just fine, at least by a Linux-based LiveCD that I have here (and also by Windows). It is also recognized just fine on one of these other systems when I booted to the FreeBSD 9.1-RC3 LiveCD (but is not seen on the same system by FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE, which is perhaps to be expected). So anyway, my apologies for wasting electrons on what now appears to be a non-issue. The card is perfectly good, and is properly recognized by recent FreeBSD releases. It just does not get along at all well with one particular and specific older MSI motherboard that I happen to have here. (I was going to trash that one anyway, and now I may do so sooner rather than later.) Regards, rfg P.S. To whomever maintains the {x,e,o,u}hci drivers: The vendor code 0x1106 apparently corresponds to "VIA Technologies, Inc." I only mention this because I noticed that in the startup syslog messages on 9.1-RC3, my Nvidia USB 2.0 controller was properly identified as , whereas this new card was identified only as <0x1106>.
