Hi guys,
I am setting up a home NAS for five users. Total amount of data stored
on NAS will not exceed 5 TB.
Clients are Macs and OpenBSD machines, so that SSHFS works fine from
both (no need for NFS or Samba).
I am much more familiar and comfortable with OpenBSD than with FreeBSD.
My dilema while stating the above is as follows:
Will the OpenBSD’s UFS stable and reliable enough for intended
purpose? NAS will consist of just one encrypted drive, regularly backed
to hardware RAID encrypted two-disks drive via rsync.
Should I byte the bullet and build the NAS on FreeBSD taking advantage
of ZFS, snapshots, replications, etc? Or is this an overkill?
BTW my most important data is also backed off-site.
Thank you in advance for your comments.
Jan
