Comment on Building my first NAS: Assistance on part selection please
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 week agoTrueNAS should be way safer than OpenMediaVault. I’ve used TrueNAS for some large work deployments and it is solid as long as you understand ZFS basics.

I’m not saying TrueNAS and ZFS aren’t good. For large enterprise systems, arrays with sufficient redundancy, servers with reliable power management, I can see its advantages, esp. w/ snapshots, etc. I acknowledge that Open Media Vault is mickey mouse in comparison.
I just feel compelled to share my experience when I see people considering TrueNAS for their first foray into building a small home media server, running a z1 array, with no mention of battery backup or power management. ZFS isn’t inherently safer. It’s safer when paired with sufficient redundancy and power management.
