Kudos to OMV developers !

agreed! I am still playing with it on a spare system, but so far it's excellent. Community seems to be excellent as well, folks are willing to help without the snark that has crept into some NAS communities. its given me exactly what I was looking for, a full blown linux install with an add on that removes much of the drudgery from having to do it all from scratch via command line.

After years of use, I have to agree. I haven't found anything better or, really, anything that is even roughly equal.
