So for the last week I have been experimenting with several free Linux-based NAS solutions: openfiler, nas4free, and freeNAS. I have unfortunately run into several problems with both: primarily that the server stops responding while copying files.
Not being able to copy is going to be a HUGE problem moving forward regarding both replication and storage with the customer's files. I am unsure if this is a common software issue (if I'm downloading a version too advanced for my hardware) or if this is an inherent problem with my hardware.
My hardware is rather dated: Opteron 242 1.6GHz with 4GB of RAM. It's a 64-bit hardware solution running on a x86-64 Linux OS. I currently do not know enough to effectively solve this. I will need to seek help from the various OS' communities
