FreeNAS

[mplotsker]

Anyone familiar with this free nas project? i believe it is based on some bsd kernal (freebsd of netbsd i think) Any chance of mt-daapd working on this? It seems like a great fit;
low cost pc hardware
multi-protocol file sharing
ability to run on 16+mb of flash
low memory requirements
just add your own HD

No question it would work. Just a matter of compiling a freebsd version (or whatever it is) and running it on the box.

It isn’t something I’d be interested in building, as it’s not an itch I have. If someone were to provide packages, I’d certainly host them for the community.

This is something I am currently looking into. Has anyone made freebsd 6 packages yet?

I have a spare epia 533 MHz board laying around that I want to amke into an itunes server and freenas seems to be the best fit. I tried with naslite but was unable to do it. (they are however contemplating on adding this feature to their product)

anyone with a freebsd 6 box feel like making some packages? 🙂 PLEASE! 😀

It would be really nice with a Firefly plugin for FreeNAS.

There is one for Slimserver. 😉

Kind Regards

There may be a problem loading Firefly on FreeNAS. Everytime I have compiled something and saved it into bin or sbin, upon reboot POOF!! its all gone.

Are you running off LiveCD or USB?

I run off USB stick and same issue.

this may be old info, but have you seen this?

He’s got 0.2.4 mt-daapd running on FreeNAS. It would be great to update this to the latest Firefly but I certainly don’t have the skills. Perhaps the author of this could help?
