My primary use will be doing various forms of backup from different boxes: multiple ubuntu boxes, xp, vista, win7 and occasionally other flavors of linux. In addition, there will be some shared storage for documents, etc.
What are you going to use it for? My new favorite NAS OS for home is Lime Technology "Unraid"On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 10:58 PM, Dazed_75 <lthielster@gmail.com> wrote:
I tried openfiler first and found almost no usable instructions without buying the documentation. I may not have tried very hard but it seemed FreeNAS had a lot more info available. Unfortunately, a lot of it is dated by the new release.
NTL, I could go back to OpenFiler if you can point me to some available HOW-tos that I can understand (and maybe answer some questions where I do not).
BTW, I was just experimenting with a spare box but intend to build a better one once I know how to use it.

I prefer Openfiler, which is Linux based vs FreeBSD. You might try that.On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 10:46 PM, Dazed_75 <lthielster@gmail.com> wrote:
---------------------------------------------------Is anyone using FreeNAS? I set up a FreeNAS server today and while I can see it from either windows or Linux, I am mostly unable to use it. I was at one point able to copy a file from Linux to FreeNAS but seem to have messed that up now. I am going to start over with a clean slate but if anyone has knowledge of FreeNAS and might be willing to answer some questions, I would be grateful.
