hi guys

i'm looking for a linux distro that support software/hardware RAID for standalone NAS machine which will be connect to my network via router.

freenas is POS!, no matter what i do, i CANNOT format the hard drives, always get stupid errors when formatting. Had a look for help at freenas forum, many many people got same error problems.

so anyone know any good alternatives to freenas?

dont think clarkconnect/smoothwall support software/hardware RAID.

thanks

Openfiler is good but needs higher-spec hardware than freenas - link

It does indeed - amoungst a million other things including iSCSI support for SAN-like behaviour
