I’m happy to see that the BSD-based FreeNAS 7 remains maintained. I chose it after evaluating OpenFiler with a few others small Linux distributions. I boot it from a 1 GB USB stick and run with 2 GB RAM on an Intel Atom CPU.

I hit the wall by attaching a 2TB ext2fs drive. I didn’t know that here’s a bug in the ext2fs support for drives > 1TB. Maybe FreeNAS should refuse mounting the >1TB filesystem to save the others from being shocked when half of the data are not accesible? Or at least display some scary warning until the bug is fixed? Nevertheless, in the end I reformatted the drive to UFS anyway to gain the fsck on-the-fly which is important especially for such big partitions.

The only think I’m missing is control of the case fans plugged to the motherboard. I can set up their speeds in BIOS but it’d be much more comfortable to be able do it in the Web UI. Or even having them configured to change their speed depending on the state of temperature sensors.

I still find the FreeNAS 7 line the optimal OS to run a home NAS. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!
