Freenas 11.2 plex10/7/2023 On the Xeon E3-1245 v5, CPU usage is always around 100% while on the Xeon D-1557 it will vary between 50% and 75%. When looking at CPU usage on Freenas webUI, there is something different between the servers: Server 1 is always around 5% to 10% faster than server 2 for the same task. I tried a few different files, and results are always similar. Results are very close to each other, here are screenshots a few minutes after launching transcoding task, at the same time:Ī few minutes later, some other screnshots, still at the same time:Īnd so on until transcoding is finished. I'm running a transcoding task on a 4K video, video is the same on both servers, and Plex transcoding settings are the same on both servers: make my CPU hurt, and transcode very slow (best quality). On both systems I have Plex installed as a jail (standard Freenas Plex plugin, same version). Server 2: Supermicro X10SDV-12C-TLN4F (Xeon D-1557 SoC), 2 X 32 Go DDR4 2133 RAM, data pool with 2 X 500 Go HDD in stripe, Freenas 11.2-U7 Server 1: Xeon E3-1245 v5, Asrock Rack C236WSI motherboard, 2 X 16 Go DDR4 2133 RAM, data pool with 4 X 3 To HDD in raidz, Freenas 11.2-U7 HBA: LSI/Broadcom SAS9207-8i, 6Gbps SAS PCI-E 3.0 HBA - flashed to IT Firmware: 20.00.07.I'm trying to compare performances of 2 servers using very similar setups: Jails: running 1 iocage jail (Plex) using danb35's script:Īdditional NIC: MELLANOX 10GB CONNECTX2 - MNPA19-XTR Take a look here: A post with Links to useful threads Vdev-1 = 4 x 6 TB drives in RAID-z1 (4 WD Gold drives - WD6002FRYZ)īoot pool: 1 vdev with 2 x 40 GB notebook drives in mirror (2 drives total - FUJITSU MHW2040BS) Vdev-0 = 4 x 6 TB drives in RAID-z1 (4 WD Gold drives - WD6002FRYZ) Vdev-1 = 6 x 4 TB drives in RAID-z2 (6 Seagate Exos drives - ST4000NM0115) Vdev-0 = 6 x 4 TB drives in RAID-z2 (6 Seagate Exos drives - ST4000NM0115) Vdev-1 = 6 x 4 TB drives in RAID-z2 (6 Seagate Desktop drives - ST4000DM000-1F2168) ![]() Vdev-0 = 6 x 4 TB drives in RAID-z2 (6 Seagate Desktop drives - ST4000DM000-1F2168) HBA: LSI/Broadcom SAS9207-8i, 6Gbps SAS PCI-E 3.0 HBA - flashed to IT Firmware: 20.00.07.00Ĭonnected to: two 6Gb/s 24-port 3.5" mini-SAS expander backplanes (80H10024001A0) 128 GB of 16GB sticks Samsung brand PC3-12800R, DDR3 Registered ECC Processor: Intel Xeon E5-2650 V2, 2.6GHz 8 Core (16 thread) System board: SuperMicro Motherboard X9SRL-F, LGA 2011/Socket R, IPMI For a home NAS, this chassis is huge, able to hold 48 data drives and two boot drives with a couple spaces internally for non-hot-swap drives. The three pools in this one system represent the three NAS systems I had before the consolidation. I have even put together some hardware just to test things out a time or two.įor a while I had three systems, all at once, at home but I am making some hardware changes right now and only one NAS is online. I made some mistakes along the way, learned some and I try to share some of those lessons learned experiences here in the forum. This is the 8th FreeNAS unit I have built for home. This one was built in 2018, but I reused the name from a previous build. Thank you and I look forward to any assistance and appreciate all the help and guidance these forums have already provided with my installs so far. I know most would say just use the one data source that being on freenas but I am not ready to let the 4 TB I have on the readynas go or transferring it over to start eating up my Freenas storage. I suspect I might be able to do a symlink or bind-link and then add that to the mount in the jail. I am just not sure how to do this or if it is possible since "mapping a drive" is not an option on Freenas. ![]() Since Plex is installed in a jail and the mounted datasets are the only accessible directories in Plex Server I am not able to do what I was accustomed to doing before inside of Plex's 'Add Folder' under Movies or TV Shows, for example " //readynas/videos/movies" I was wanting or hoping to continue to use the readynas as another storage device and let Plex access it and the local datasets on the Freenas simultaneously (like I could do on the Windows Plex Media Server. But what I would also like to do in Plex is do what I was able to do when I was running Plex server on my Windows PC before, which was by mapping a drive on the PC to the readynas that is used only for storage. I have the local storage working properly and using SAMBA to copy files to the dataset. I have installed Freenas 11.2 and running Plex in a jail successfully. ![]() I have a situation that I have not been able to resolve or know if it can be the way I want.
