I got a old rig I can use. I actually burned OpenNAS, TrueNAS or |
32 |
FreeNAS on a USB stick. I can't recall which one I put on it tho. I |
33 |
downloaded all three. lol If you know that one is better than the |
34 |
others, feel free to share. Also, I'd like to keep using LVM if I can. |
35 |
If nothing else, I already got the data on the drives and won't have to |
36 |
reformat and copy again. It took almost 100 hours to copy to the new |
37 |
16TB drive. Using LVM would make that easier, and faster. |

I'll have to work with what I got for now but I really like the |
40 |
Raspberry option for its size and good options to upgrade later. I'll |
41 |
just make do with something else until that option is doable. Maybe it |
42 |
won't be to long. |
