If you have no need for ACLs, then why FreeNAS? That's pretty much it's only usefulness
Forgive me, I was over-complicating things and didn't realize ACL stood for access control list. Yes, I will be needing this. As for hooking up the drives, you can either mount the Host OS
disks/partition as shares into the VM using NFS (or CIFS if you're putting VMWare on Windows) or you can tell VMWare to actually use the physical disks themselves. I've only seen that done once because it means that the disks cannot be used by the host OS. I think you'll only ever see that in a multi-drive machine where the boot drive houses the "Host" OS and the remaining drives are taken by the VM to make a RAID.
So if I run a Typical wizard in VMware and load up FreeNAS as a vmdk image, how can I convince it to use the Host OS's drives? AFAIK, you're confined to the clients virtual "drives" aren't you?
