Dear Community,
I am fed up with the bad ZFS Support (OpenSuse just broke my access again by updating) and I am currently thinking of moving this whole machine to FreeBSD or FreeNAS.
Xeon E5640 with 24GB of ECC Ram
SSD with 80GB (boot and home)
4x 6TB HDD in one RaidZ pool
FreeNAS with NextCloud seems to be able to do all I need (File storage, Calendars synced with phone, backup space for family photos as well as music and ebooks, backup space for my laptops).
The big question now is: Can I set the ZFS RaidZ drives to "export" and just import them on FreeNAS?
Will the FreeNAS "snapshot" function still work nicely (e.g. onto an attatched external drive) to backup the pool plus the installation on the SSD?
