Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Same here, Jim. A ready built NAS is so much easier. :)

I once tried a Raspberry Pi as a NAS. Actually, it was more of a simple file server. It worked reasonably well but was pretty slow (no Gigabit on there) and not really suitable for more than a single connection at once. It wasn't worth the hassle.

  Grogster said  H Smaller volumes are OK, but these huge capacity drives I expect MUST use 64-bit - no matter WHAT system you end up running.  .....and 32-bit is pretty old technology now, too.


I don't think that Linux will be the problem but your hardware might be.

If you take a Debian netinst iso  and boot with it you can quickly find out.
If you can partition and format it with the installer, it will be fine for OMV


BTW: That's why Debian is so popular, no other distribution supports ALL these platforms and keep it up to date
