We've since added a wiki page for PBI requests: http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/PBI_Requests. Plex hasn't been ported to FreeBSD yet so the URL to the port request is in the table.

I would love to see PLEX Media Server on FreeNAS, that would be absolutely amazing! I currently use my setup for both redundant backup and for movie storage so that would work perfectly!

Why don´t you wait for 8.3-RELEASE that is comming very shortly ? So FreeNAS can have zfs dedup that is a HUGE win.

Alas, no. I will look into typing up some of the key points. My favorite discovery: round-tripping from FreeNAS to FreeBSD 9 LiveCD and back.

It'll probably still be a few months until we get UPNP/DLNA. I'm holding off until 8.1 and it's subsequent bug fix to jump on the wagon. Can't wait though, I got the $$$ for a 20TB ZFS system with FreeNAS's name on it around Cyber Monday if 8.1 comes out.

Sean: UPNP/DLNA are targeted for 8.1, not 8.0.1.

When is UPNP/DLNA going to be added? If this is the last stepping stone to the release version it would seem as though it would have been included.

NTFS volume import doesn't seem to be fixed. It no longer (if it ever did) renders the data unusable in Windows, but I still experience the "some error" message when importing NTFS volumes.

"Make netatalk (AFP) compatible with OS X 10.7"

Does this include TimeMachine compatibility as well or only general AFP share access ?

2011-07-06T22:36:19.602+02:00

Maybe take a look at PFsense (also FreeBSD based) and see how they do it through package management.
Id be happy with something similar to that.

2011-07-05T17:32:47.040+02:00

Great! I'm happy to see that the BSD-based FreeNAS 7 remains maintained. I chose it after evaluating OpenFiler with a few others small Linux distributions. I boot it from a 1 GB USB stick and run with 2 GB RAM on an Intel Atom CPU.

I hit the wall by attaching a 2TB ext2fs drive. I didn't know that here's a bug in the ext2fs support for drives > 1TB. Maybe FreeNAS should refuse mounting the >1TB filesystem to save the others from being shocked when half of the data are not accesible? Or at least display some scary warning until the bug is fixed? Nevertheless, in the end I reformatted the drive to UFS anyway to gain the fsck on-the-fly which is important especially for such big partitions.

The only think I'm missing is control of the case fans plugged to the motherboard. I can set up their speeds in BIOS but it'd be much more comfortable to be able do it in the Web UI. Or even having them configured to change their speed depending on the state of temperature sensors.

I still find the FreeNAS 7 line the optimal OS to run a home NAS. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!

Thank you, FreeNAS already made me smile today - keep up the good work. FreeNAS might be the next platform handling real workloads for me.

Hi,
FreeNAS is just great: frugal, efficient, easy to setup, full of features. Almost perfect except for one thing: WOL!
I can't wait for the day it is implemented.

I hope I saw this earlier.

Just for the record, we found this independently and I have fixed it for both FreeBSD and NetBSD (FreeBSD r213044). It would be great if we see some more vocal voice saying "Hey you broke X", which really helps us to fix bugs earlier.
