[nmglug] Trunas scale exp?

[Wesley Robbins]

Thanks.  Ended up getting new hardware and did a total rebuild.  But this
time built the root disk on two usb disks.   Now I have a 9+2 zfs raid.
 :).

If you are interested, bought two asm1166 Sata  cards that are 4xpcie 3.0.
The 1x pcie Sata card seemed to be the biggest issue.  It was really old.
