> {Free, True}NAS are dead easy to use as long as you stay inside the confines of the GUI, and hugely reliable. I’ve used FreeNAS (now TrueNAS). Great at first but eventually I started hit snags and bugs. I still use TrueNAS but I wouldn’t say it’s 100% reliable, especially across upgrades. > Anything else is no man's land. Running ZoL and you did a routine kernel update? Enjoy your new read-only ZFS pool! FWIW, I have a separate ZoL server that has been bulletproof, even with frequent upgrades. I did, however, run into a kernel issue with TrueNAS after an upgrade that caused some hardware issues about once a week. My options were either to downgrade to an older TrueNAS until they fixed it (still not fixed) or buy new hardware.
