[QUOTE="whaase, post: 500830, member: 65471"] Let me say this first, I'm not done playing with it lol I had set it up, setup my samba shares, ftp etc. I setup ftp to transfer all my existing media to it. (Copying within Windows is horrible) I let it go all night. Next morning I went to a mapped share I had done and it told me it didn't exist? So I logged into the nas machine via web and my Samba was turned off!? I turned it back on and was then able to see the shares again. 2 minutes later they were gone again. This time the web interface would not let me in. It wouldn't accept my password. I went down to the machine and got into a shell. Entered a few commands to retreive my password to see if I was loosing it (going nuts lol) and I indeed had the right password. At that point I figured I just couldn't trust it enough. I wiped it and installed Ubuntu Server and never looked back. Fortunatly, I've used linux for 12 or so years so I am pretty comfortable with it and know how to fix it if something goes wrong. Here is a good detailed setup for a raid in ubuntu with Webmin [url]http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30573/77/[/url] I use Windows Server for all our work stuff (only because I have too lol) I personally like linux better. Ubuntu has really made linux "easier" for new users. Apt-get is the best tool :) [/QUOTE]
