FreeNAS is a free network-attached storage server, supporting: CIFS (Samba), FTP, NFS, rsync, AFP protocols, iSCSI, S.M.A.R.T., local user authentication, and software RAID (0,1,5), with a web-based configuration interface. FreeNAS takes less than 32 MB once installed on CompactFlash, hard drive or USB flash drive.^[1] FreeNAS is currently distributed as an ISO image and in source form. It is possible to run FreeNAS from a Live CD, with the configuration files stored on an MS-DOS-formatted floppy disk. There is also a VMWare disk image available.

The minimal FreeBSD 6.2 distribution, web interface, PHP scripts, and documentation are based on m0n0wall. FreeNAS is released under the BSD license.

Features

Protocols: CIFS (via Samba), FTP, NFS, SSH, rsync, AFP and UPnP.
Extensions (plug-ins) for: SlimServer via SlimNas, XBMSP via CcXstream and iTunes via mt-daapd.
