Comment on TrueNAS build system going closed source

  I’m running an early version of that on a 16 year old ARM board NAS, the NAS has 256MB of RAM and OpenMediaVault runs great on it.

  Looks like no zfs support?

    It’s not in their by default, you have to install the omv extras plugin, from there you can install zfs: wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv8%3Aomv8_plugi…

    I question why this gets recommended so much when we discuss truenas.

    Without a doubt zfs is one of if not THE reason to go truenas. It does so much more for you than other filesystems.

    I guess OMV at least has btrfs but not the same thing.

      ZFS is in the omv extras repo: wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv8%3Aomv8_plugi…

      As it’s just plain debian under the hood you can use any basic debian stuff, e.g. I use zfs-auto-snapshot from apt, and the zfs plugin can list and manage the snapshots perfectly.

    I have it on my installation, you’ve got to replace the kernel with the proxmox one, it’s fairly easily done by installing a plugin

      Since omv 7 it works with the default kernel, you can install the proxmox lne though if you want that.

        Weird, some time ago it booted with the default kernel by mistake and it couldn’t see my zfs pool

  I love it so much that I donaged twice to the project. There are also some easter-eggs hidden in the software, like quotes from Dune.
