4. Is the N100 small host with the network port the underlying virtual Feiniu OS through PVE, or do you choose Feiniu OS as the underlying virtual Aikui?
want to be "stable", choose PVE as the bottom, and then virtualize Feiniu OS and ifast respectively; If you want "simple + All-in-One", choose Feiniu OS as the base, and then virtually love fast in its KVM, but you have to accept the risk that the main system will be disconnected once the whole family is disconnected. The following is a key comparison to make it easier to weigh according to your own needs.
| dimensions | PVE → Virtual Flying Bull + Aikuai | respectivelyFeiniu OS → KVM Virtual Love |
|---|---|---|
| stability | high. PVE focuses on virtualization, and there are many cases where it runs on 2×4 of July and does not restart for more than 2 years. Hanging up either aircraft does not affect the other passenger aircraft or the host network. | middle. The Feiniu OS itself is still iterating rapidly, and the underlying KVM functions are available but the verification time is short; Once the main system of Feiniu is restarted or down, it will fall together and the whole family will be disconnected. |
| performance loss | very small. The N100 supports VT-d / SR-IOV, the network port can be directly connected or bridged, and the CPU iperf3 can run up to 2.5 G. The core display can also be assigned SR-IOV to Feiniu hard solution, and only 2 cores and 1 GB are enough for iKuai. | slightly higher. After the Flying Bull host eats up 1~1.5 GB of memory + part of the CPU, and then allocates 2 cores and 1 GB to iKuai, the remaining resources are enough for lightweight NAS applications, but the CPU usage will reach 60-70% when using high concurrency transcoding + large bandwidth QoS. |
| Ease of use | slightly more complicated. You have to install PVE first, connect to pass/bridge, and install two virtual machines, which has a learning cost for beginners. | simple. In the graphical "application center", you can pull up the virtual machine with a few clicks; The Flying Bull comes with an OVS switch, which eliminates the need for command line bridging. |
| feature extension | extremely strong. In addition to Flying Bull and Aikuai, you can also open OpenWrt, Windows, and Ubuntu on PVE; Snapshots, backups, clones, and clusters are fully functional. | limited. The built-in KVM currently does not have advanced features such as cloning and scheduled backup. |
| the order of network startup | dependent. PVE starts first, and then it doesn't matter who loves fast and flying bull first; PVE is still online when iAi crashes, and you can SSH to troubleshoot obstacles. | dependent. You must wait for the flying bull host to start before you can pull up the love and fast; Therefore, during the first cold start, the downstream device will not be able to obtain DHCP for a short time, and it is necessary to set the iKuai to "automatic start" and add a delay of 30-60 seconds. |
Note: The performance loss here refers to the performance loss of PVE as the bottom layer and Feiniu OS as the bottom layer, but the actual situation is the opposite. PVE + Feiniu OS + Love Kuai vs. Feiniu OS + Love Kuai, there is an additional system performance loss that is higher.
Quick Selection Suggestions:
- If you use the N100 as the "main entrance to the home network", the NAS is just a side hustle, or you need to be uninterrupted 24×7, please go directly to PVE. After PVE:
- four network ports are made into a Linux Bridge (vmbr0-3), the first port is directly connected to iKuai as a WAN, and the remaining three ports are used as a LAN;
- love fast gives 2 cores 1 GB hard drive 2 GB enough;
- Feiniu gives 4 cores and 4 GB (depending on the transcoding requirements), and the disk uses all the left;
- core display is open SR-IOV to 1 VF for Feiniu, which can be hardware transcoded to 4K H.265.
-
- if you want to use only one web interface to manage NAS and soft routing at the same time, it doesn't matter if the network is disconnected for 2-3 minutes, or if you just like to toss and turn the experience, then using Feiniu OS is no problem at all. Installation method: In order not to waste the 4-network port N100 small host Feiniu NAS, install Aikai to save a router
therefore: "stability, expansion, and long-term use" choose PVE virtual love fast and flying bull respectively; "Simple and acceptable disconnection" → Feiniudi virtual love fast. Choose one of the two according to your tolerance for network reliability.
