[11:29] <average_guy> yes, I have 3 box SAN twayneprice. I used openfiler to set up iscsi target
[11:30] <average_guy> well I did... is in pieces atm
[11:37] <average_guy> is a hobby not a profession for me
[13:05] <twayneprice> average_guy: That's cool.  Did you use the free or the paid version?
[15:16] <netritious> Wow...another article championing ZFS over brtfs: http://rudd-o.com/linux-and-free-software/ways-in-which-zfs-is-better-than-btrfs
[15:16] <netritious> I say 'wow' because that's the third or fourth one this year I've read.
[15:17] <netritious> *btrfs
[15:27] <wrst> netritious: from all account zfs kicks btrfs bad
[15:27] <wrst> and you pair it up with something like freenas its so easy I can do it :)
[15:35] <netritious> lol wrst
[15:36] <wrst> and good morning netritious :)
[15:36] <netritious> good morning to you wrst :)
[15:37] <netritious> I'm fairly convinced I will be moving to freenas sometime this year.
[15:38] <netritious> I'm starting to wonder why I drank the linux koolaid all those ywars ago seeing as I keep going back to BSDs
[15:38] <netritious> *years
[15:41] <netritious> oh I remember...freebsd couldn't run vmware server heh
[15:54] <wrst> for me I like how freenas operates like an appliance more or less set it and forget it
[16:00] <netritious> pretty much the same with pfsense
[16:01] <wrst> for me the defualts are plenty good enough also
[16:01] <wrst> so I don't need to think, I like not thinking :)
[16:34] <twayneprice> Have either of you used freenas in a cluster so if 1 box goes down, the other still works?
[16:39] <wrst> twayneprice: I use it at home just for storage, so i have no pro experience whatsever
[16:39] <wrst> its just easy and idiot proof for me :)
[16:41] <wrst> but I wonder if truenas wouldn't be more what you are looking for, especially if support is needed, looks like it adds severla features for serious work
[16:44] <cyberanger> I still love Debian, and Kali is a nice desktop OS (however I still prefer Openbox)
[16:45] <cyberanger> but gotta say, after dealing with FreeBSD more, I wish I had pfsense here
[16:45] <cyberanger> or monitoring on cisco
[16:46] <cyberanger> wrst: yeah, been looking into truenas for an upcoming deployment
[16:47] <wrst> I have absolutely no need at all for one of those ixsystems boxes but they really look cool :)
[16:50] <twayneprice> wrst: truenas looks pretty neat.  We already have the hardware, though.  :(
[16:51] <cyberanger> twayneprice: I haven't yet used either in a cluster, we're moving that way though
[16:53] <wrst> oh yeah twayneprice keep forgetting that
[16:57] <twayneprice> We just had one of the bricks in our HP SAN go down and it was pretty nice that it could still run while we waited on parts.
[17:01] <twayneprice> nice but very expensive.  :)
[17:04] <wrst> oh I bet :)
[17:45] <netritious> hey cyberanger, twayneprice
[17:45] <netritious> was just reading about openfiler
[17:45] <twayneprice> hey netritious
[17:46] <netritious> looks like it uses corosync, pacemaker, and drbd for clustering.
