Hi Andrew,
You can run OpenWRT on a Raspberry Pi as well.
FreeNAS requires pretty recent hardware so i guess that might be pretty costly. *smile*
OpenMediaVault was created by a guy who worked at FreeNAS but wanted to use something that wasn't that hardware hungry.
Unfortunatly i had no time to play with it this weekend.
Greetings,
Simon

Betreff: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Looking for an accessible NAS
Hi,
I thought OpenWRT was more of a router OS than a NAS OS, and ran on more router type hardware?
If we're talking about using more server type kit, we could always start looking at some of the larger options, starting from something like UnRaid (not used it myself but it was accessible when I tried it a year or so back), FreeNAS (had some issues with access when I used it), or even some of the Windows Server NAS options.
Andrew.

Any NAS that can run OpenWRT (http://www.openwrt.org/) should be very accessible once OpenWRT is installed on it. You can either use ssh to access the shell prompt, which I usually prefer, or use the Web interface, which seems to be quite accessible with a screen reader.
It can offer NFSv4, or SMB via Samba, thus giving you a choice of file systems. You also have a choice of Linux file systems for the hard drives or SSDs.
RAID should also be supported, but I haven't tried it, as I run OpenWRT on a device that primarily serves as the router for my home network.
