I guess for the > time being I stick to an old credo: never touch a running system My main requirement was simple: the NAS must be no-touch. I'm perfectly happy fiddling till 3am with every other system I have, but not that one :-) I needed something that family could use too with all reasonable share types active (the family can pick how they want to connect), and that must stay the same for long periods. I figured the only way to get that was to rig it so I couldn't fiddle too much. FreeBSD is familiar territory so FreeNAS was the logical choice. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
