You know, asking them to add a Bacula FD plugin is a good idea! I'm sure it wouldn't be available for quite a while, but that is genuinely a good idea.
If they're building on Gentoo, they ought to be able to do it pretty quickly if you can persuade them to. the Gentoo ebuild is mature and, particularly for client-only, is about as close to plug-and-play as you can get.
This is a commercial market NAS, aimed at videographers. The devs are actually pretty damn good, and I'm proud of them for choosing Gentoo. They have a bunch of software sitting on top of Gentoo aiming to provide fast access to stored media files for video editors.
Good on them, then.
The main data array is formatted XFS, by way of trivia for y'all. The core ethic is "get media go the end users as fast as possible so they can edit and render as fast as possible". Everything else is secondary.
XFS is probably the ideal choice for that application. It was specifically designed to optimize streaming media performance.
