would free/truenas run AS a vm in hyper-v?
trying to keep myself busy, it's quieter than a cemetery at midnight atm
The general consensus that I've seen here is
- a NAS OS is redundant and hampers efforts to repair things.
- You're better off using something like Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu Server, or your favourite flavour
so do you mean, just build up another server consisting of an OS that support staff are familiar with, fill it with disk and use that?

Yep, that's been the consensus around here. No real value add in having an appliance manage SAMBA and/or NFS for you. If you really really want a GUI interface, use a RedHat distribution for cockpit.

Just replaced a UPS at a police station. Everything is back up, installing PowerChute now.

they're pretty flexible with my Kids schedule and allow me a little freedom when it comes to my kid and what I need to do for him..
Aren't employers required to be flexible about kids?
I dont' know about 'required' -- but every interview I've been in, I tell them, my family comes first.
Yes, I know there are times when I'll have to work odd hours or overtime, I'm okay with that, but if you make me chose between my family and my job, I will choose my family every time.
Being that up front and blunt about it from the get go has landed me my last two jobs.

Such a busy day today. Felt like I had nothing on the docket, and in reality, I'm still at my desk working. All good stuff, but wow what a busy day!
-
About to start 2nd day of office move.
Well remove server hardware to take back to HO and look at the new office and order new kit as they don't need a server anymore
hopefully be done by lunch -
Ugh. Teams cut over day. Not looking forward to this

Yep, that's been the consensus around here. No real value add in having an appliance manage SAMBA and/or NFS for you. If you really really want a GUI interface, use a RedHat distribution for cockpit.
I haven't tried Cockpit in a while, but I don't believe you could manage shares there last I tried. Do you know if that's changed?

You can manage storage but not shares.

Neth, using Cockpit, allows for share management.

It's at least improved a bit. I'm still not thrilled with it, but it's not the train wreck it was six months ago now.

Is that the new USG model that doesn't suck compared to the EdgeRouter lineup?
