October 9, 200817 yr Hi all. Can UnRaid server work as NDAS storage from more clients at the same time? Or plans these it feature? Thnaks for answer
October 9, 200817 yr unRAID works as a NAS, and many clients can access it. As far as NDAS, not as a server for NDAS like that from ximeta Inc. http://www.ximeta.com/web/technology/ndas/technologie1_en.php I think there is a possibility it could be used for iSCSI, but I'm not sure how near that is to being implemented.

October 10, 200817 yr Author And another question.... iSCSI will be implemented? When perhaps, please? Thanks for answer

NDAS is possible, but as a client to NDAS disks. Not to serve as NDAS disks. The original question was a bit open in regards to support, but in general, when asking if a server could work as NDAS my thought is could the server serve disks as DIRECT network accessible storage. Sort of like AOE or iSCSI. It can be a client and use NDAS disks if you compile the driver. I've found them to be a bit less then reliable. You have to have the right source and the right kernel. Then it works pretty nice, You drop these disks on your lan and you can access them as if they are local. Speed is around 10MB/s from my testing. It's a quick and easy way to add storage. I've used it on a few of my linux servers with decent results.
