July 11, 20178 yr Hello, I am a recovering Synology user that is looking to move to some non-proprietary hardware. I just installed tossed NAS4FREE out the door and have installed UNRAID. It's doing the parity setup right now (should be done by the time I get home tonight). My question is this: can I share an individual folder as an NFS share AND a CIFS/SMB share at the same time? I did this on the Synology because I run SABNZBD in a *nix VM and write downloads to the NFS share, then I play the video through a CIFS mount to my Win10 desktop or through my network using a ROKU. Please let me know if this is possible (I'm guessing it is). Thanks!
July 11, 20178 yr It will work, but if that's your only use, I suggest using a NZB download docker instead of spinning up a full VM for it. NZBget seems better than SABnzbd, but either are available as dockers.
July 11, 20178 yr Author Hello and thanks for the reply. I'm currently rearranging my computers and VM's to put them in places that best suit them. I have SABNZBDPLUS, Spotweb, and a few Plex VM's running on a DL-380 G6 in my basement (2 sockets, 4 cores ea w/hyperthreading, 32GB RAM) with ESXi. The G6 has limited internal storage that is expensive to upgrade so I use my Synology DS1511+ to share out the filesystems to each VM as needed. I have several different sizes of drives in the Synology but it is starting to flake out on me after 5ish years so I am moving away from the Synology and thought I would try UNRAID. I just built a new desktop with an i5, 16GB RAM, 250GB SSD and 2 x 6TB HD's (the HD's were purchased to backstop the Synology if/when it failed). Now that I realized that I don't actually need a new Win10 desktop, and the Synology is stable for the moment, I am repurposing the PC to be an UNRAID box. I have designated the SSD as a cache drive a 6TB as parity, and added a 3TB drive to get things rolling. Technically I have 3 DL-380's in my basement but they're pretty noisy and I really only needed one but they do come in handy to run ESXi and multiple *nix VM's. I'll see how things perform during my 30 day trial before I start installing dockers and moving apps from ESX to UNRAID. I guess I have too many toys and too many options (is there such a thing?) so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again. GS
