These two vids give a good impression of the direction of FreeNAS Jordan Hubbard - FreeNAS 10: Challenges of building a modern Enterprise Storage Appliance on FreeBSD: https://youtu.be/W0hrlsIVst0
Jordan Hubbard - FreeNAS 10 @ BayLISA: https://youtu.be/UpO1YUG8S6c The underlying complexity has been abstracted away in the new UI but the move towards docker means using the linux emulation layer. Some would argue that up to now, jails and plugin in FreeNAS have not been that successful. For my home use FreeNAS 10 is overkill. It's true that the UI makes setting up logging, checks, alerts and reporting very easy. But even I managed to set up basic emailing reports on my Deb8 file server box and zfs-zed can give you feedback on some ZFS events to add to the with the usual smartctl stuff. The real attraction of FreeNAS to me is it runs from a usb stick and frees up a SATA port on my mini-itx m/board and has the bonus of being free of systemd. I have no ambition to build an " Enterprise Storage Appliance" with true server grade components, but I was interested how much mileage I could get out my consumer grade kit. The fact that LMS can be be built and run on FreeBSD/FreeNAS keeps the options open. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Krisbee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104122 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
