In this lecture, specifically, we’ll go through:
– The intrinsic benefits of ZFS for small businesses with surprisingly high compute requirements
– How we’ve assembled our little pool at a relatively moderate cost
– How we’ve integated our Windows + Active Directory setup with ZFS (on Linux) storage: permission mapping & more
– The performance penalty of virtualizing storage solutions like TrueNAS
– Detailed pool performance analysis based on real-world engineering simulation workloads: ARC hitrate, compression efficiency
– Lessons learned, drawbacks, and potential pain points
