Hi guys , I received a very old del pe 2950 box. Fortunately it has 64 GB and a double power supply, so i'm thinking about using it with pve. After confirm with dell support about storage capacity: Max physical storage support is 2TB. Max virtual storage support is also 2TB. ## I was reading on previous emails at this mail list , about storage: "putting the controller in JBOD mode and install directly with ZFS software RAID."
I always thought that raid hardware controller was the best option but , perhaps I can give it a try to ZFS software RAID with this old server .... what do you think ? I have a bunch of 3.5" with odd capacities unused drives. I readed that zfs can merge them to get a more efficient use. What about hot replace / remove or insert a new drive ? Will it work without service disruption in production environments ?
