Leverage the Power of OpenZFS"},"content":{"rendered":"
If you’re reading this, you’re likely familiar with NAS, or Network-Attached Storage. NAS boxes are slightly dumb, or if you prefer, highly-focused file servers. I.e. they store data and allow access to it over whatever networking technology is being employed: Ethernet, fiber, etc. So, what is FreeNAS?<\/p>\n
What is FreeNAS?<\/h2>\n
FreeNAS is a free, open-source operating system that will turn just about any computer into a NAS box. It’s based on FreeBSD (see what they did there?), which is a long-running Unix-like operating system. However, unlike vendor implementations, FreeNAS’s ecosystem is open source from basics to add-ons.<\/p>\n
FreeNAS also utilizes OpenZFS, an open source variant of the Z File System (ZFS) originally developed by Sun Microsystems. OpenZFS offers the same volume and files services, RAID, redundancy, and backup features as the original. Most other NAS boxes run Linux and ext4 or increasingly, btrfs, aka the B-tree file system, which mimics ZFS in many ways.<\/p>\n
