Hello Community,

Does FreeNAS support Suspend-To-RAM (S3) mode? I have only found this, but it was closed without a comment.

the full story:
I am currently thinking about replacing my Ubuntu fileserver with FreeNAS. Since energy is expensive in europe and i only need NAS service for a few hours after work, i have currenlty configured the Ubunutu Box so that it will enter Suspend-To-RAM when it's idle for a hour (idle means, no more SMB connections from clients, which is the case when i go to bed and have shut down my computer, HTPC, etc.). The box can then be awaken again by WOL.
Suspend to Disk (S4) is not an option because i use encrypted disks.

Is this possible with FreeNAS or do i have to stick with my Ubuntu server?

Thanks for reading.

No, S3 is not supported. In short, FreeNAS does not support sleeping modes at all because 24x7 uptime is expected for FreeNAS boxes. If this is unpalatable then you do want to stick with Ubuntu.
