I just started to play with FreeNAS. If you have an old PC laying around, it works fairly well. My advice though, forget software RAID. Too unstable. I had 3 80Gig drives set up with software RAID5 and we lost power Monday night (yeah I know, I should have had it on a UPS). RAID go bye-bye! :-) A quick Google of the situation showed that it just wasn't worth my time to try and recover the RAID or data since the data was backed up elsewhere. So I re-allocated the drives as just 3 seperate drives with 1 share per drive. No redundancy, but I'm not worried about that (it would have been nice, but not critical). -- ---- ------ Todd Young
