I use Plex via Docker and it works great. Super simple to setup a docker-compose file to bring it up (or even a simple script to 'docker run...'). Data stored on a zpool made up of a pair of 3-drive vdevs. More complex than random FreeNAS/Unraid/Whatever setup, but if you're comfortable enough t

Yes, I have that card (well, the 2 internal/2 external port version). Works fine with the AHCI driver on x86_64. No quirks needed, supports FIS, etc. ScottE On Fri, Nov 30, 2018 at 5:50 PM Michael Orlitzky wrote: > On 11/30/18 8:15 PM, Dale wrote: > > > > Does anyone have a card and know for

I was never able to get the ATI supplied drivers (fglrx) to work with any other Xorg server drivers. My specific use case was to have X displaying on 8x R9-290X cards and an AST2400 at the same time. Regardless of what I did, the ATI driver would segfault on startup if the AST module was configur

[gentoo-user] Failure of zfs-kmod with 3.13.* kernel

2014-02-08 Thread Scott Ellis
When trying to build zfs-kmod against a a 3.13.[0|1|2] kernel, spl works fine, but zfs fails. It looks like the issue is that the configure script isn't doing quite the right check for bdi_setup_and_register, so HAVE_BDI_SETUP_AND_REGISTER doesn't get defined, and then there's a mismatch in the de

I think it's a bug, but "zfs mount -a" works around it quickly. On Sun, Dec 30, 2012 at 7:42 PM, Volker Armin Hemmann < volkerar...@googlemail.com> wrote: > one thing that baffled me was when I set the mountpoint for zfstank/var - > and > it was gone. ;) >

Yeah, I use ZoL for my home server (mostly pictures, videos, and mp3s) and it works just fine. SSD for the / and /boot, and then ZFS for all the important data in a mirrored pool. Highly recommended. (Just updated to 3.7.1 kernel and 0.6.0-rc13 ZoL, with no issues, in case you were worried about
