6/17/2023 0 Comments Freenas volume manager![]() ![]() Update (4/13/17): Unfortunately, a recent announcement by iXsystems on their forums indicates that FreeNAS Corral is being taken back to a “technical preview” state while the development team works through some shortcomings of the implementation. The ultra converged features of FreeNAS Corral are the ultimate compliment to the hardware I selected for this year’s DIY NAS build. Wouldn’t you know it, iXsystems stole a bit of my thunder! They’ve released FreeNAS Corral (aka FreeNAS 10) nearly on the same day that I’m publishing the DIY NAS: 2017 Edition. Please take a moment of silence to commemorate the dollars lost. Achieving this goal came at considerable expense, and because of it my bank account has suffered enormously. Ultimately, I decided that my goal was to pick hardware capable of handling all of these tasks: file server, virtual machine host, and media streaming. The past couple DIY NAS builds, especially the DIY NAS: 2016 Edition, have been on the cusp of being able to stream high-definition video or host virtual machines. ![]() Other authors of the blogs’ comments have wanted to know about the feasibility of hosting virtual machines on the hardware to fill other computing needs in their homes. The majority of these questions and comments have typically surrounded the serving up of media-a perfectly valid question considering the immense storage requirements of media collections. Over the years, there have numerous comments and questions about the other things that could be done with my different DIY NAS builds. So popular in fact, that I’ve repeated it on a yearly basis. A few weeks after being published, that DIY NAS blog quickly became the most popular article on my blog. This is what convinced me to build my own NAS and then publish a blog chronicling my adventures. There was no shortage of information, but a lot of the information was buried in forum threads and other difficult-to-consume places. Ultimately, I was frustrated by what I found. I immediately set out on Google and started looking for suggestions on what hardware to use.
