A Look at FreeNAS Server

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the you-can-never-have-too-much-storage-space dept.

NewsForge (Also owned by VA) has a quick look at FreeNAS, an open source network attached storage server that can be deployed on pretty much any old PC you have sitting around the house. From the article: "The software, which is based on FreeBSD, Samba, and PHP, includes an operating system that supports various software RAID models and a Web user interface. The server supports access from Windows machines, Apple Macs, FTP, SSH, and Network File System (NFS), and it takes up less than 16MB of disk space on a hard drive or removable media."

    I had to rebuild my array on my file server, which is 700 gigabytes. It has 4 250 gig drives

    That sure is a lot of p0rn. You might want to get some help.
