Does anyone know what kind of advantages I get running "TrueNAS core" vs just running zfs off debian? I assume a nice GUI to tune parameters?

- mceachen 6y agoFreeNAS was BSD based (but I've been too chicken to migrate to True as after reading stuff in the subreddit). The GUI _is_ pretty slick.
- ahepp 6y agoI'm just running zfs out of the `apt` box at the moment. I'm assuming if I get to the point that I care about tuning it, I'll be able to. We'll see if that assumption bites me in the ass.
- Datagenerator 6y agoUsing zfs on Linux (CentOS) proves to be on par with FreeBSD. They are using the same OpenZFS code afiak.
- 1over137 6y agoThe FreeNAS/TrueNAS GUI is quite nice. It's a whole system designed for file storage. It uses ZFS, which is probably the safest file system for your data. I highly recommend it.
