Take the machine, wipe it and build a NAS from scratch with Gentoo. If all you want is an NFS mount that won't be difficult. Add an NFS server, export your mount and you're done, right? Managing it over the long term will be far more work than TrueNAS but you will be comfortable with changing disks and adding network cards which is important to you.

I truly don't like apt, but it works if I stay in my lane so I've learned to do that, the advantage being I've never had to build a package from scratch and I've never in 5 or 6 years had an update fail. Wipe the machine. You'll be happier. Best wishes, Mark --000000000000d8491005f01aaf9e Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
