Home Storage

It's pretty neat if you can get it up and running. My motherboard didn't like ZFS when they switched to ZFS boot partitions.

I like that there's a webui for administration, if I could find a decent front end for bangblows I would do it. Just curious if there's any real benefit to it. Ive got most of my storage behind raid cards so if my OS dies Id retain data integrity for the stuff I care about

Well, it's super easy to set up networked Windows backups through Microsoft's native back program, and OSX Time Machine backups as well. You can enable Samba, Apple Share, and Linux NFS. There are plugins for bit torrent, plex, and all kinds of other stuff. It's worth a look, just make sure your hardware is supported before diving in.

ZFS or BTRFS are not that great with fuckhuge files (e.g. virtual machines virtual VDD).

I currently have a FreeNAS setup.

But is there really any point? I hate the WebUI, and I don't like the plugin system. It's always out of date, and it's implemented via BSD jails. It's shitty to configure, and they all consume an IP address too.

What if I go with something like Rockstor or OMV instead, or a simpler "storage" solution?

What's wrong with this hypothetical setup:

- Proxmox VE Server virtualization management with KVM
-- VM with OpenMediaVault / Openfiler
-- VM with various applications like BitTorrent, Emby/Plex etc running
-- VM with backup

With the latter, I could keep everything updated nicely

Whats wrong with installing a normal headless Debian and configuring whatever you want?

Usability? FreeNAS/OpenFiler/Rockstor/OpenMediaVault has everything you need in one install. Time is expensive.

I have 2x E6506 CPU's, so a bunch of cores and threads to work with. I have another proxmox box running, so if I install proxmox on top, I'll be able to add it as a node and control it from there.

That said, FreeNAS 10 looks damned sharp. It removes my UI complaint entirely in fact.

But FreeNAS forces you to use ZFS - now that there's BTRFS, it might suck?

I need a cheap and reliable SSD.

Have any of you tried unRaid?

BTRFS is still in the experimental stages. If you're using it, just be sure to have backups.
