indeed it is as others have said. However, if all you need is a
bunch of disk space accessible over the network, then FreeNAS would
be a lot simpler to setup and maintain. Based on FreeBSD, iSCSI
service built in, WEbGUI interface (but you can ssh in if you want
to). one caveat, don't use it with USB external drives as it will
lose connections as soon as you mount the 2nd USB drive.
