<span style="color:rgb(80,0,80)">Really you have your 2 possible issues. CPU currently being maxed and the IO bandwidth. These are all guesses since this is a serious load but personally if you wanted them to remain a single machine I'd swap the i5 with an i7 and break the array into at least 2. Whether trying 2 vdevs in a raidz or just 2 totally separate raidz since myth can have ad many individual storage locations as you want. And/or put a SSD ZiL in front of any raidz configuration. But if you are really pushing that IO load it could still be an issue. Or build a second box and just put 1/2 the storage and 1/2 the tuners in it as a slave backend if you don't want to move to an i7.</span> </div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The physical location of the dish forces me to add a remote backend. I do not want to run 4 thick RF cables over a distance of 50 meters. Neither nice, nor good for signal quality. So the second box is a must not an option. Just trying to optimise the use of the two boxes. For sure all 4 tuners are moving to the new box and are removed from the current master BE, which will have no tuners, only storage and the database.</div><div><br></div><div>That was my initial idea.</div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote">
<div><br></div><div>I'm curious what people that do have this high of a load do if they have redundant storage. Maybe just 3 sets of mirrors would be best.</div></div><br></div></div>
