Hi folks, I am running an ESXi system with freenas and I would like to know if there is a version without all this jail/vm stuff.
I just would like to safe some resources.
These features won't use any resources if you're not using them (aside from some disk space for the binaries and config). I would also like a "FreeNAS lite" but that doesn't exist right now. You could always install FreeBSD and manage ZFS manually which is what I've started to do.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, unused services in TrueNAS, whether it be the Jails and VMs, or an unused sharing protocol like NFS or AFP, don't consume any resources other than the few megabytes of disk space to store their binaries. Unless a VM or jail is running, there's no "overhead" from having the functionality available.
