Has anyone here tried the new distro RockStor: rockstor.com? Seems interesting, storage centric distro. I'm thinking about giving it a try, but thought I'd ask around before starting.

Thanks in advance!

No. Back in the day I used openfiler, which worked ok, but it hasn't been updated in ages. After that we moved to FreeNAS which was great as well. I still use that at home. But at work we then went to QNAP, which was finally replaced by a 100TB array running Debian with a custom compiled e2fsprogs to run ext4 across the entire 100TB.

I would go with the Debian solution again if I had to... fancy interfaces are fine, rockstore has a nice 'foundation/bootstrap' look, but a stable proven production system is more important than looks.

Maybe I'll install it and give it a try this weekend. I'll post my findings here too for everyone's benefit.
