Is that right? Or did I miss something? The current FreeBSD implementation of ZFS does not yet support native SMB/CIFS exports, but it is indeed possible to use SAMBA. As for the web interface, have a look at FreeNAS and NAS4Free. The former is developed by ix Systems; the latter is a community-driven project. Both are built on, yet independent of FreeBSD. FreeNAS is about to release a new version based on FreeBSD 10.3, which (as of today) is the latest production-ready release. And while I didn't look too closely at Napp-it/OmniOS, since it is Illumos-based I would guess it has a slightly newer ZFS/zpool version than FreeBSD does. But I would think FreeBSD almost certainly has everything you would expect to use in your day-to-day. -- :: Brandon J.
