[FreeNAS/NAS4Fee] 关于Linux版的 FREENAS传闻

经证实，是误传。。。
FREENAS未来版本仍然基于FREEBSD核心，并将由 IXsystem来主导开发。而原来的核心开发人员Volker将单独重新开发一套类似Freenas的系统，基于 Debian Linux内核。这个Linux版的"Freenas" 将改名叫  OpenMediaVault，几时出未知，估计还要个1年多。。。

Hi all,

FreeNAS needs some big modification for removing its present limitation (one of the biggest is the non support of easly users add-ons).
We think that a full-rewriting of the FreeNAS base is needed. From this idea, we will take 2 differents paths:
- Volker will create a new project called "'OpenMediaVault" based on a GNU/Linux using all its experience acquired with all its nights and week-ends spent to improve FreeNAS during the last 2 years. He still continue to work on FreeNAS (and try to share its time with this 2 projects).
- And, a great surprise: iXsystems, a company specialized in professional FreeBSD offers to take FreeNAS under their wings as an open source community driven project. This mean that they will involve their professionals FreeBSD developers to FreeNAS! Their manpower will permit to do a full-rewriting of FreeNAS.
Personally, I come back to actively work in FreeNAS and begin to upgrade it to FreeBSD 8.0 (that is "production ready" for ZFS).

Regards,

Olivier
