My old garage server has been choochin' along for odd 10 years, mostly running debian and home made maintenance scripts; A few years ago I read about FreeNAS and thought, when time comes, that is what I'll use!
So, the controller choked about 40 days ago, and the wife gave the green light to build something new, and not from found parts this time. (Well, sort of, the newer of the disk drives that have been changed through the years, get to keep going); But most of them are new (Got a really good deal on some Toshibas, and although not strictly the same, I believe some of HGST's work lives on in them)
I'm still reading up on documentation, blog posts and the forum; There is a lot if information,
but luckily, burning in hardware is a long and tedious process :)
I'm at the point now, where the parts have been bought, the system installed and running, but not yet polished.
So in short, I've finally arrived to join all you fine people, and I'm giddy as wee mountain goat at the top of the hill.
I'll try my best to search before asking, do the work and enjoy the long nights.
Hello to you all
