Hello, I would like to know if somebody have some experience with FreeBSD on Dell PowerEdge R6515? We are planing to order new hosted machine from our service provider. They are offering following configuration: PowerEdge R6515 Server AMD EPYC 7302P 3GHz, 16C/32T, 128M Cache (155W) DDR4-3200 2.5" Chassis with up to 10 NVME Drives Riser Config 1, 1x16 LP PCIe slot PowerEdge R6515 x4 or x10 Shipping Material No Quick Sync Performance Optimized 3200MT/s RDIMMs 16GB RDIMM, 3200MT/s, Dual Rank iDRAC9,Enterprise x5 Dell 1TB, NVMe, Read Intensive Express Flash, 2.5 SFF Drive, U.2, P4510 with Carrier No Hard Drive No Controller Heatsink for CPU less than 180W C13 to C14, PDU Style, 10 AMP, 6.5 Feet (2m), Power Cord Dual, Hot Plug, Redundant Power Supply (1+1), 550W No Trusted Platform Module Asset Tag - ProSupport (Website, barcode, Onboard MacAddress) Order Configuration Shipbox Label (Ship Date, Model, Processor Speed, HDD Size, RAM) Broadcom 57416 Dual Port 10 GbE BaseT Network LOM Mezz Card ReadyRails Static Rails for 2/4-post Racks C30, No RAID for NVME chassis Producer Recycling Fund Contribution PowerEdge R6515/R7515 Motherboard, with 2 x 1Gb Onboard LOM (BCM5720) Performance BIOS Settings I don't have experience with R6515, only some old R610 / R620 which work fine. Are there any compatibility problems? My main concern is NVME. This will be my first experience with NVME. Are there any gotchas witn NVME on FreeBSD? Or kldloading nvme and nvd is enough and then I can work with it like with any other disk, format to UFS? We need the best performance for database (MariaDB / MySQL) workload so I tend to use UFS instead of ZFS. I will appreciate any experiences, tips and ideas about this machine. Kind regards Miroslav Lachman
