Hello,
I need to setup a "middleman" virtual machine that will be capable of mounting a network
accessible (LAN) storage with CIFS protocol and export the same via NFS or iSCSI protocol.
I am not sure if FREENAS is capable of this task, if so, please advice.
Also, please comment if this is a big overhead for storing and accessing this way Virtual Machines.
The source of the problem is that my datacenter offers reliable storage on the LAN,
but only through CIFS / Samba share and I need to use it as Datastore in ESXi (vmware),
which only supports NFS & iSCSI network accessible storage...
Thanks, waiting for your insight !
