  1. Easy, use OpenIndiana or NexentaStor by Zemplar · · Score: 5, Informative · on Ask Slashdot: Free/Open Deduplication Software?

    Yep, put a nail in OpenSolaris' coffin. Instead, I use and recommend OpenIndiana and NexentaStor (or Nexenta's community edition if you prefer).

  3. Nexenta/OpenSolaris by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on SoHo NAS With Good Network Throughput?

    If I had to build a NAS/SAN on the cheap for work it would be something based off of OpenSolaris/ZFS. The amount of features you'll get out of ZFS/Opensolaris for free can't be beat. Really worth a look. A few products that I would say to look at are: http://www.pogolinux.com/nexenta.php http://www.nexenta.com/corp/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=148 http://www.nexenta.org/os and of course: http://www.opensolaris.com/

    How come this only gets a 3?

    I use netapp's at work and for anything where I didn't have an unlimited budget I'd use opensolaris with zfs.

    For a turn key solution based on the same technology perhaps you should check out nexenta which is a commercialisation of opensolaris and zfs to solve the problem at hand here...

    No I don't work for them.. but I've used it and it's cool. :)

    I agree. Or look at using Nexenta

  6. DL180/185 by paugq · · Score: 0, Troll · on Sun Unveils RAID-Less Storage Appliance

    Four easy steps to dead-cheap SAN/NAS storage:

    1. Buy HP DL180 or DL185 servers, with a Smart Array P800 RAID card
    2. Buy 12 to 14 1TB or even 1.5TB hard disks from Seagate and trays in eBay (I've bought in the past from SCSITray and there are other sellers)
    3. Install Solaris 10 or Nexenta OS, set up ZFS
    4. Sun goes bankrupt

    I haven't tried it yet, but Nexenta's OpenSolaris-based NAS systems are now available. It offers everything you need and much more. http://www.nexenta.com/corp/

  8. Nexenta Stor by GuyverDH · · Score: 1 · on What NAS To Buy?

    Along the lines for freenas, except that it has the current forerunner for the best filesystem available today, ZFS.

  10. Addendum: Rsync by DrYak · · Score: 1 · on Windows Home Server Corrupts Files

    Also, Windows Home Server could backup networked windows client. How a John Doe could do that on Linux? Tell them to install rsync on their Windows box...Or Use offline files?

    Amanda is an exemple of backup solution I've heard about. It can make backup over network, for example, by pulling the files from the backed up machine using Samba shares.


    A quick google query also brought up the names NasBackup and NexentaStor RsyncShare which apparently attempt to make Rsync more user friendly by putting a GUI around it.

    Using a Windows software solution like the built-in Backup or similar may actually be meaningful :
    - One may want to be able to quickly pull the data back after a complete machine crash and those are the only tools that will be available on the freshly re-installed XP desktop. So if your main goal for a backup is in case of emergency it may be useful to employ the only tools that will be available in those emergency case.
    - Of course if you goal is to be able to access ancient versions of file in case you overwrite them, Rsync, Amanda or LVM-Snapshot on the server could be better. (depending on which you could find the most user friendly front-end for)
  11. Re:On the cheap by jlittle · · Score: 1 · on Best Home Network NAS

    I would of course recommend Nexenta (Debianised OpenSolaris) or the storage focused product NexentaStor. Check out Nexenta.com. I have 50TB on it, but you likely just want to throw something less than one :)

  12. Nexenta by timezra · · Score: 1 · on Best Home Network NAS

    Would this satisfy your software need: http://www.nexenta.com/corp/ ?
    It combines the OpenSolaris kernel with the Debian package manager. Personally, I have been using Nexenta on my desktop at home for the last 6 months and have been very satisfied, but the bulk of the dev effort in the community for a while has been on server-side support, so I would bet this latest release is also high quality.

  13. Re:Last time I checked, UNIX was a trademark by WebMink · · Score: 1 · on What is UNIX, Anyway?
    Linux is Linux, GNU is GNU, and Solaris is Solaris.

    In which case, what is Nexenta making? They're using Debian GNU/Linux but with the OpenSolaris kernel - they themselves can't decide between "NexentaOS" and "GNU/OpenSolaris". The result doesn't appear to fit your taxonomy, but still works really well. I think we'll see more and more of these rematches of userland and kernel appearing. Easy assumptions about the superiority of $KERNEL or $USERLAND are way overdue for a challenge.

  14. Who is Nexenta Systems, Inc.? by samj · · Score: 2, Informative · on Debian GNU/Solaris

    Who is Nexenta Systems, Inc. (gleaned from the HTML title attribute of http://www.nexenta.com/ anyway, and why do they feel the need to hide their identity (http://whois.sc/nexenta.com)? They're referring to this Debian port as 'Nexenta OS', but then using the domain gnusolaris.org (where they have also hidden their details behind a Domains by Proxy registration). They have this to say on 'the future': "We do hope that at some point, sooner rather than later, our changes (so far for the most part just cleanups to build the DEBs in the new Solaris-like environment) will be integrated with the upstream. At the end of the day - this would be the right thing to do." - presumably they mean that they intend for this to become an official Debian port (eg Debian GNU/Solaris)?
