Hi..
I am going to set up a NAS on an Intel Atom Processor. My first Idea was to use FreeNAS but I heard that 0.7 will be the last release since they are switching to Linux. So there will be no ZFS support anymore :/
So my plan is to use the upcoming FreeBSD 8 (when it's ready) with support for the latest ZFS build.
So far so good…
I searched a bit around and found no satisfying description of how to Install FreeBSD on a USB stick because I want to keep the ZFS Raid "clean" and don't use that space for an operating system.
I guess that it's not such a big trouble to boot from and install on USB but what to do with ports, swap, logs cluttering up my thumbdrive ?!
Your advice is greatly appreciated
