FreeNAS is coming to Linux

([Distributions] Jun 3, 2020 21:14 UTC (Wed) (corbet))


The FreeNAS distribution implements network-attached storage on top of the ZFS filesystem; it was [1]reviewed here back in 2015. FreeNAS has always been based on FreeBSD, but now iXsystems, the company behind this system, has [2]announced a new version, called TrueNAS SCALE, that will be based on Debian. " Linux is a key requirement to achieve some of the SCALE project goals ". More information about those goals will evidently be forthcoming in the future.
