Awesome, thanks for the post about what solution you went with. I may look to address my personal NAS situation late next year or sometime in 2017, and would be interested on how it goes with FreeNAS.
My pleasure! Ping this thread again when you're ready, and I'll let you know how I've gotten on. So far, the only thing I really wish is that their next version were out. The 10.x alpha looks much nicer from a design/feature standpoint, but... alpha.
Sometime before that happens, my personal server for mail is likely to move from CentOS to FreeBSD. I kinda want to remove anything Linux from my personal side for a variety of reasons.
Well, if you have a mix of Linux/OS X, I'd probably drop Linux in favour of FreeBSD/OpenBSD, as well.
As nice as my (pre BTRFS) ReadyNAS units have been, it's time to stop the bitrot and other data corruption going on as I am trying to cart forward decades of digital stuff.
That's what I'm hoping to prevent. I have some photo CDs that need to be put back online, before they're unreadable. Given that it's been >10 years, I'm just hoping I'm not too late.
