#illumos #omnios is absolutely incredible. The system is very well designed IMO, I had already experienced the more cohesively designed #BSD but here it feels a bit *more* (although quite similar in some aspects to #freebsd of course).

Linux feels like a duct-taped amalgamation of random ideas, don't get me wrong I love Linux and all it represents, but it's a system that has been grown in any direction.

With Illumos instead it feels like you have orthogonal powerful building blocks you can compose into something greater than the sum of its parts. #zfs #dtrace #zones #crossbow it all works beautifully, both on their own and together.

After seeing how virtualized networking can be done in solaris, the docker networking stack feels so sad in comparison.

So far I'm very impressed.

You can add a remote disk to a #ZFS mirror using ggatec(8) on #freebsd and the the ZFS pool happily resilvers to the remote disk connected via #geomgate.
Three terminal windows: on the left the verbose ggated(8) output while a disk is being exported to a remote another machine. On the right the verbose output of ggatec(8), while using the disk of the aforementioned daemon. In the middle, overlapping the other two windows, is the output of a zpool status command, showing that a device called ggate0 is being resilvered in a ZFS mirror configuration.

TrueNAS CORE versus TrueNAS SCALE

I was really disappointed when I got to know that the FreeBSD based TrueNAS CORE storage appliance – owned and developed by iXsystems – will be moved into the ‘maintenance’ …

Running a `zpool scrub` on my mirrored NVMe SSDs. The image on the left is without heatsinks and the right is with heatsinks. Both graphs show a 50 minute time window.

Before installing heatsinks it took 15-20 minutes to scrub, and since, it's only 6 minutes. Perhaps the drives were thermal throttling?

Either way, €20 well-spent I'd say.
