Is AFP on FreeNAS any better than SMB?

Does a decent PCI SATA card exist that supports BSD or Linux?

Would this work with FreeNAS?

Seems like it might be hit or miss.

In the full specifications it says that it is supported in FreeBSD so I am guessing that it would work.

The HighPoint site has drivers that need to be installed if you want to do hardware RAID management. Could be hard shoehorning the driver into the FreeNAS install.

On the other hard the FreeNAS site says the 1640, 1740, and 1820 are working well. http://www.freenas.org/index.php?option=com_openwiki&Itemid=30&id=freenas_users_hardware

Do you want to do RAID in hardware on the HighPoint or in software in FreeNAS? If the latter you could get a simple non-RAID card.

I'd rather just let the OS handle the RAID. All I really wanted was an add-on card but that was one of the only ones I could find that supported BSD.

Thanks for the link, that should help me a lot.

drat, I can't find any proof that it's possible to install SABnzbd+ on FreeNAS. I really want a usenet client to run on my file server.

It is appears possible. If you do a "Full Install" of a recent FreeNAS release you get a "System/Packages" option in the WebGUI. From there you just feed it the package you want to install. You may have to resolve dependencies manually (i.e. grab all the packages that sabnzbdplus depends on). I've never done this, just researched it a bit.

http://www.freenas.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=24 - release of System/Packages option
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/news/sabnzbdplus/ - port of sabnzbplus
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/ - where you might have to grab packages from

Thanks.

Actually, right now I don't have access to my server. I'm just screwing around with FreeNAS on my Macbook Pro with VMware Fusion 2 Beta. I'll give it a try.

Also, I don't have any experience with BSD, just a little Linux so this is all a little new to me.

EDIT: Ok, I installed the SABnzbd+ package from the WebGUI but now I have no idea how to start and access SABnzbd+'s WebGUI.

Looks like you just run SABnzbd.py, and it starts listening on port 8080 by default.

Ok, first I can't seem to find where SABnzbd.py is located and second, I tried installing the package again and noticed the result:

code:
Package 'sabnzbdplus-0.3.0' depends on 'python25-2.5.2_2' with 'lang/python25' origin.
Package 'sabnzbdplus-0.3.0' depends on 'py25-cherrypy-old-2.2.1,1' with 'www/py-cherrypy-old' origin.

Package 'sabnzbdplus-0.3.0' depends on 'py25-utils-0.2.5' with 'devel/py-utils' origin.

Package 'sabnzbdplus-0.3.0' depends on 'par2cmdline-0.4_1' with 'archivers/par2cmdline' origin.
Does this mean I need to install all of those packages first?

It's too bad nobody makes a Mini ITX case that can hold 4 or 5 HDs. There are so few Mini ITX cases to begin with. I wish a manufacturer like Lian-Li would make something.

I guess I'll just continue running mine without a case. :arghfist::(

2.5" and 3.5" SATA drives use the exact same connection.

So is it pretty much impossible to have a FreeNAS box running an FTP server exposed to the internet to not get hammered by bots?
