Exactly. My TrueNAS machines haven't had a monitor attached since they were built. Everything you need is there. It's more a storage appliance than a computer. > I > wonder, could one install the LVM stuff and use that? That would be > interesting. I wonder if there is a NAS software that uses LVM > instead. Interesting thought. I just may go bug google on that one. o_O Maybe I'm missing the point but why would you want LVM on a storage pool? If I'm doing backups I just want space. I let TrueNas put it on disk and give it back if asked. Why put another layer of indirection? If you're intending to use it as simple NAS - i.e. - the only copy of some data on your network - then possibly LVM might be interesting, but then you need a second TrueNAS box to back that up. NAS as a mountable data location is different than NAS doing backups which is what I thought this thread was about. What am I not remembering? - Mark
