At least the port has had further commits as recently as feb 2017, but point taken about your script. I mentioned it as others might find the port useful. Well I did say if your happy to get data access via a network share to your VM. In FreeNAS 9.10.2 iohyve appears to be a stop gap as they move to version 10 and there's no GUI support, my brief use of jails in FreeNAS 9 seemed to be very clunky and based on old version software. Did I read u9fs will be used in FreeNAS 10? I took the easy route and performance would be good enough on my low end home network if I wanted to run LMS on a FreeNAS box by using a VM. My home needs are very simple, a centralised file server for back-ups and data which runs LMS. Using zfs is attractive, but not strictly essential for me, as I only currently don't have a large amount data. I have zfs running on debian 8 right now for my data array and kept the system drive on ext4. I'm not convinced I'd use FreeNAS, actually I would prefer to become proficient enough in FreeBSD to set-up a simple zfs based file server administered from the CLI. I will use your script when I get a chance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Krisbee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104122 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
