When you have more time, I highly recommend that you collaborate with iXsystems (contact dev@ixsystems.com ) , since they can help you with doing interop testing with VMWare ESX and Windows Server environments. It is a lot of work to set up those environments and do the testing, but those environments are what are most heavily used in the real world data centers, and a number of customers are interested in using FreeNAS/TrueNAS (FreeBSD) as a backend storage to those operating systems. -- Craig
