FreeNAS is awesome.
Does anyone know of a way to configure FreeNAS (or an alternative FS, such LizardFS or Tahoe LAFS) that can provide the feature set of Isilon OneFS (not the performance) with an open source implementation?
That is,
1. to add more storage, just add another machine (everything looks like one big volume, irrespective of machine/disk boundaries).
2. replication / error correction / raid works across the entire fleet of machines; that is, you can configure it so that up to 1-disk per node, and up to 2-nodes overall can die without damage to data
3. snapshots
- Fzzr 10y ago1. Not sure how to get a single global namespace on FreeNAS right now, that might require further upgrades to NFS (or maybe it's in 10 now, I haven't tried). 2. Early in the development of FreeNAS 10 SwiftStack, IPFS, and Riak were planned as features. It's still possible those will make it into the project some day, but for now you're on your own for clustering/multi-node use. 3. Snapshots and Snapshot Replication are a core feature of FreeNAS since 8. I don't know where the 10 docs are but in 9.10 they're here: http://doc.freenas.org/9.10/storage.html#snapshots http://doc.freenas.org/9.10/storage.html#snapshots

- beagle3 10y agoInteresting. The features I asked for are almost all in "enterprise" and there's no price quote yes (or even a mention of whether enterprise is open source - I am willing to pay for a good system, but not for one I can't support myself)
