JetStor NAS 724UX / 724UX 10G – User Manual NAS Concepts NAS (Network‐Attached Storage) is file‐level computer data storage connected to a computer network providing data access to heterogeneous clients. NAS uses file‐based protocols such as NFS (popular on UNIX systems), SMB/CIFS (Server Message Block/Common Internet File System) (used with MS Windows systems), or AFP (used with Apple Macintosh computers). NAS units rarely limit clients to a single protocol. NAS provides both storage and a file system. This is often contrasted with SAN (Storage Area Network), which provides only block‐based storage and leaves file system concerns on the "client" ...

JetStor NAS 724UX / 724UX 10G – User Manual TIP: Aggregation mode: Round‐Robin: Transmit network packets in sequential order from the first available network interface (NIC) slave through the last. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. Active Backup: Only one NIC slave in the bond is active. A different slave becomes active if, and only if, the active slave fails. The single logical bonded interface's MAC address is externally visible on only one NIC (port) to avoid distortion in the network switch. This mode provides fault tolerance. Trunking: Transmit network packets based on [(source MAC address XOR'd with destination MAC address) modulo NIC slave count]. This selects the same NIC slave for each destination MAC address. This mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance. Broadcast: Transmit network packets on all slave network interfaces. This mode provides fault tolerance. LACP: IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation (802.3ad) Creates aggregation groups that share the same speed and duplex settings. Utilizes all slave network interfaces in the active aggregator group according to the 802.3ad specification. Transmit Load Balancing: The bonding driver mode that does not require any special network‐switch support. The outgoing network packet traffic is distributed according to the current load (computed relative to the speed) on each network interface slave. Incoming traffic is received by one currently designated slave network interface. If this receiving slave fails, another slave takes over the MAC address of the failed receiving ...

JetStor NAS 724UX / 724UX 10G – User Manual TIP: “Compression” options: Disabled: No compression at all. Default value. Zero Reclaim: When the data block contains all zeros, no physical space will be consumed. The block will be marked specifically. Generic Zero Reclaim: This is JetStor patent filing technology that will reclaim data blocks with special patterns such as all 0’s, all 1’s. Theoretically, it will have better storage efficiency. Enabled: This will always enable lossless data compression function using LZJB algorithm. TIP: “Sync” means synchronous I/O, which is similar to the definition of write‐ through. Synchronous I/O is that every file system transaction is written and flushed to stable storage devices by a system call return. The application needs to wait for the physical data update completion before it could issue another command. Latency will be longer and performance will suffer. If you don’t know how to use this setting, please leave it as default. Disabled: All write commands become asynchronous. It will ignore the synchronous transaction demands of applications such as database or NFS. Standard: The default value. It depends on the applications.
