[QUOTE="NLS, post: 518494, member: 20102"] Well the developer just negates most of the positives of unRAID. unRAID is a great idea, but Tom just stayed there for too long. I also hate that he is ignoring his own community. He is supposedly working on the next big release. Hope it's a strike, for his own good. I am certainly keeping my license, certainly not denying that this thing does what it does quite ok (but that and only that) but CURRENTLY things are so negative in my mind about Limetech, that I am willing to torture myself into shifting all my data one-by-one back to NTFS. FlexRAID (along with a JBOD solution like WHS or his almost ready FlexRAID-View) is much more active currently. It's becoming better every day and it's good enough if you ask me. I am going for a FlexRAID + WHS mix, which give a WEALTH of functionality I could only see from afar and this only by begging Linux wizards to hack the closed system of unRAID. No more. I am planning for a system worthy of staying online 24/7 NOT just for file servicing. It does the five points you mention and a few tenths more, with the detail (yes detail) that the current version is limited to snapshot RAID4. With 99% of my data being static (as most data on home NAS systems everywhere...), this is good enough for me with a scheduled resync of parity every night (plus a manual sync every time I add large amounts of data). I can point you to my blog, but it's in Greek... maybe you can get a rough idea of what I am saying using one of the cr*py online translators: [url=http://www.ilogic.gr/blog]NLS's Pit[/url] ...check the two last articles.
