[SOLVED] Good book/training on NAS(Network Area Storage) not just theory.

Hi,
Im looking for some book/training on NAS but there are many books which are describing the theory so that's why I'm looking on something more practical where I will learn how to actually set it etc.

Thank you,
Julie

good way to get practical knowledge would be to follow blogs that talk about nas. Try searching google for blogposts like this how-to.

Freenas and maybe openfiler is a good distro. I'd get one or both running at home and setup some tasks. Setup a ftp, nfs, samba, iscsi maybe to start.

It would be best to have some older computer that you can play with. Tasks and ideas are similar on nas's but not all are exactly the same words or tasks. If you know the basics you should be fine.
