I've just about migrated all our home content to the Openfiler server. Just have to move my wife's iTunes library over and then I can move her to

the new laptop. I hope this sync software I found does a good job

a what server? -- nm - tRuMaN, in a surly mood Jan 7, 11:49 13
- Openfiler. It's basically a Linux based file server. Does NAS and iSCSI. Web GUI. I have it as a virtual machine on my home server -- nm - oblique Jan 7, 11:52 3
  - aww, I missed the r when I searched for the name the first time. -- nm - tRuMaN, in a surly mood Jan 7, 11:53 2
    - It seems better rated than FreeNAS for file sharing and I like the GUI management better than doing the iSCSI and Samba stuff myself -- nm - oblique Jan 7, 11:53 1
      - hmm, I wonder if I could attach a slingbox to it... -- nm - tRuMaN, in a surly mood Jan 7, 11:55
- Yeah, I had to Google that. -- nm - Mop Jan 7, 11:52 8
  - Ah, I see. A Linux-based file storage operating system that turns an old PC into a NAS (network-attached storage). -- nm - Mop Jan 7, 11:53 6
    - Putting my stack of old 160GB drives to good use - oblique Jan 7, 11:56 5
      - I was thinking of turning my original mythbox computer - tRuMaN, in a surly mood Jan 7, 11:58 1
        
        Easy to do, even without FreeNAS or Openfiler. I'd go with rsync backups rather than RAID1, then you're as good as your last backup - oblique Jan 7, 12:01
      - I'm itching to buy a NAS case so I can put in two 1TB drives to run in RAID 1, but I'm waiting for the CES announcements. -- nm - Mop Jan 7, 11:57 2
        
        My friend loves his Drobo but damn are those expensive. Did you see the new Linksys/Cisco stuff from CES? - oblique Jan 7, 11:58 1
        
        My God, those are beautiful. Tiny LCD and everything. But the Linksys comes with a drive, already. I've got two 1TB HDs collecting dust. -- nm - Mop Jan 7, 12:08
  - I tried, but that didn't help much. -- nm - tRuMaN, in a surly mood Jan 7, 11:52
