I'm planning on building a NAS server to store my media files and stream them with xmbc.
I have been doing a lot of reading but just getting overwhelmed...
Trying to decide on FreeNas or OpenMediaVault and then what file system should I use?
My main issue is I currently have drives at different sizes and want to be able to grow the nas in the future but with 1 disk at a time. I have read that for zfs you must grow with 2 disks at a time so I guess that options out.
Currently I have a 1tb disk and a 2tb disk, I plan on buying another 2 or 3tb disk during the sales this weekend.
So I guess my main issue is what filesystem would allow me to stream 1080p movies over the network and allow me to mix disk sizes and grow the pool at 1 disk at a time?
Also any major differences between freenas and omv when used as a media server? I have seen there are guides for setting up sabnzb on both platforms.
Thanks!
