Interesting =).

I'm currently running Freenas with ZFS.

Would be curious to see how this compares.

The one thing missing for me on FreeNAS is some kind of file search/indexing feature.

I wonder if the fact that this is Linux based will make adding something like that easier.

Perhaps. I have some ideas about search features. We can also get some cool stats efficiently from btrfs trees also. But I'd love to hear your thoughts. Is it possible for you to give more input on search/indexing that you wish to see? You can even write to us directly -- support@rockstor.com or file an issue on github: https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-core

I've just filed a support ticket here:

Hmm, stats - don't know much about this topic, but I'd been keen to hear more about what's possible.

On the file indexing front, I think Recoll and Tracker/MetaTracker are the two most active projects - Recoll being the more active one. Strigi and Beagle are both discontinued.
