I'm not becoming a big fan of freenas -- just keep getting odd bugs and errata -- and it's due to the immaturity of the software being used.

while it's a clean interface and works well with older equipment, it's really having a hard time with newer, faster equipment.

I'm really tempted at this point to switch to Ubuntu and install ZFS and other components as needed. Lot more effort with compiling and all that mess, but I bet it would be a lot more stable than freenas.

so far -- if you want a reliable platform that never crashes, stay away from freeNAS. It's a nice playtoy, but not very reliable IMO.
