We've been running FreeNAS on a 48TB box and are in the process of =
putting together a second one. There is a web GUI which greatly =
simplifies setup. It does have a few quirks (every once in a while AFP =
seems to crap out) but for the cost of an enclosure and drives it's hard =
to beat. I'm trying to learn about ZFS for the second box. No 10Gb =
ethernet yet but it's on the radar.
