Description

Ysul current hardware doesn't give satisfaction:

zfs locks -- it's very common to wait for IO some seconds
RAM too low

Decision has been made to supersede with a 32 or 64 Gb of RAM, pure SSD, raid 1 solution (some write performance cost is okay for redundancy). OS will be FreeBSD 11, with first the devserver role (we'll see afterwards what we do for webserver-legacy).

Hostname: windriver.nasqueron.org

Provisioning

For cost optimization, as the final decision was made this Monday, we were waiting for Black Friday promotion.
Purchase has been done for a PRO-6-S (Intel Xeon E3-1240-V6, 64 GB DDR4 ECC, 2x 500 GB SSD).

Installation

I'm installing FreeBSD 12.1 through KVM. Then Salt. Then we automate the setup and fix the issues.
