Today we’ll be looking at the basics of installing FreeNAS, an open-source DIY NAS. So instead of spending money on off the shelf options why not save yourself some cash and make use of the stuff you already have and get a super customizable network storage device to boot.

I’ve got FreeNAS running, version .7 and if it wasn’t for ZFS I probably would run a stock opensolaris install. FreeNAS is an excellent product and the Web Gui is first class and easy to use, but without ZFS? No thanks. Nice post, I agree, no ZFS = not really an option for a good working NAS.

It is a Ubuntu with Solaris kernel and ZFS is supported! Cheers Jochen Hi,
