I have been following with much interest the thread about accessible NAS devices or solutions. I came across a project called FreeNAS. It looks like it is based on FreeBSD. The primary interface after installation is via a web interface. Has anyone looked at this solution? Phil
I have, but was never able to install it. It takes a set of working eyes. There is also Unraid, which you can do without eyes.

Hi, I installed it the other week to try out, unfortunately I couldn't get a disk volume set created due to usability issues with JFW. I tried using the magnifier on it as well, but couldn't work out what I was doing wrong. The disk got reformated to Windows Server 2012 R2 in the end. Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Philip Hall Sent: 15 January 2014 14:16 To: 'blind system admins' Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] freeNAS I have been following with much interest the thread about accessible NAS devices or solutions.
