I have been evaluating several NAS/SAN apps including UnRaid, OpenFiler, FreeNas, and NexentaStor. Each have their pros and cons but I am leaning towards UnRaid for its ability to easily expand a RAID, and the fact that you can mix and match drives sizes...then upgrade a small drive to a larger one when prices drop.
One hang up I have is the lack of support for RocketRaid cards...specifically the 2320. I own one of the cards and have been able to get it working in FreeNAS and OpenFiler, but not UnRaid. If UnRaid could be tweaked to work with this card, or if the next version will support it, my search for a NAS app is over. I would pick up the pro version of the app (to support the 14 drives I have allocated for my NAS) and be done.
I saw the above post about creating a custom kernel that would allow this card to be seen by UnRaid. Was there any success with this? If so, is there any step-by-step how to's that other users (such as myself) can follow to get this card working?
