Huh. This could change up some NAS options on both the DIY and off the shelf type to have ZFS on Linux. I think I'm still on a path to rid my personal life of Linux, though this might help breath some new life into my existing ReadyNAS hardware before that happens.
https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/02/18/zfs-licensing-and-linux/http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/02/z...lts-by-default/My personal side, been sorting and reorganizing data still. Trying to get an accurate scope of what I want to carry forward on a NAS to avoid under or over buying storage. The 3 months of funemployment between contracts was useful for getting more DVDs ripped and deduping a bunch of other data.
One new goal I might try, have the data on the NAS searchable via OS X Spotlight. The only slightly solid route here seems to be a Mac server with iSCSI or direct attached disks. Been following Marco Arment's adventures with this on a Synology NAS and 3rd party iSCSI initiators for OS X. This idea appeals to me for also having a better CPU around for my Plex server then what sits inside most home off the shelf NASes.
