In article <20200717192349.GA40739@geeks.org> you write: >You would want to play to FreeBSD's strengths. Ie. especially ZFS. >Ie many Dell servers would have a RAID card in them instead of a HBA for direct JBOD support. >ZFS really works best with direct access to the disks as a JBOD. My server is a Dell PowerEdge R410 with two Xeon CPUs, 32GB of RAM, and four disks set up as a pair of ZFS mirrors. Works great. My main complaint has nothing to do with FreeBSD. The iDRAC remote console software only works with Java 6 or older so I have to keep a deliberately not-updated old PC around to connect to it. R's, John
